Four trains operate daily (two round trips) on this route: 311 and 313 westbound, and 314 and 316 eastbound.[2] HistoryThe Missouri River Runner route was formerly operated as part of the Missouri Service train network, which included the Missouri Mules (known as the Kansas City Mule westbound and the St. Louis Mule eastbound) and the Ann Rutledge. The Missouri Service, in turn, ran along what had been the western leg of a route that had been serviced for over half a century by the Spirit of St. Louis (1927-1971) and the National Limited (1971-1979). When the National Limited was canceled in 1979, Missouri officials pressed for the introduction of the Mules in order to ensure continued service between St. Louis and Kansas City. The Ann Rutledge, previously a Chicago-Kansas City train, had its eastern terminus cut back to St. Louis in 2006. The new route name was announced in January 2009 as part of the "Name The Train" contest held by the Missouri Department of Transportation.[3][4] The winning name was submitted by Keith Kohler of Glendale, Missouri. Service between St. Louis and Kansas City is financed primarily through funds made available by the Missouri Department of Transportation.[5] In November 2009, Amtrak and Union Pacific completed an $8.1 million {{convert|9000|ft|m}} siding near California, Missouri, designed to improve performance along the route. The siding, funded by the state of Missouri and the Federal Railway Administration, was credited with helping improve Amtrak's on-time performance.[6][7] Due to these improvements, on time performance has increased from less than 70% to 95%.[8][9] During fiscal year 2015, the service carried a total of 178,915 passengers, a 5.5% decrease from FY 2014's total of 189,402 passengers.[1] The trains had a total revenue of $5,108,200 during FY 2015, a decrease of 4.4% from FY 2014's total of $5,341,229.[1] As of October 1, 2013, provisions of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 prohibit Amtrak from using its federal operating grant to share the cost of the Missouri River Runner route; the 2008 act prohibits cost-sharing on any route shorter than {{convert|750|mi}}.[10] Equipment usedThe Missouri River Runner consists of the following:[11]
