Kansas City Public Service #755         
Built by St Louis Car Company on Job 1650 (cars 725–799) for service in Kansas City. By 1953 the streetcar lines had been converted to buses and the superfluous PCC cars were sold off. This car migrated to Philadelphia and was renumbered #2267. The Philadelphia Transportation Company, which car #755 had sold to, became part of SEPTA in September of 1968. This car worked for SEPTA until acquired by IRM in 1985. While at IRM it was cosmetically restored to KCPS paint scheme while awaiting future refurbishment to operation.
