The Missouri Department of Transportation worked to increase the capacity on the River Runner by 25% for the World Cup - and they need even more to meet the demand.
Amtrak's Missouri River Runner line has added more railcars ahead of the first World Cup games in the state, increasing capacity by 25%. The line runs from St. Louis to Kansas City with stops in Hermann, Jefferson City, Sedalia, and Warrensburg. The first World Cup game in Kansas City is scheduled for 8 p.m. Tuesday at Arrowhead Stadium. Missouri Department of Transportation reports increased ridership in Jefferson City corresponding with matches and activities in Kansas City. The expanded service will last until Sunday, July 12th, with Business Class tickets for the early train on Tuesday already sold out in Jefferson City.
