Eighteenth and Central Ave. was the "end of the line" for the Riverview Cable Car serving Riverview Blvd. (now Central Ave.) The promoter, Col. David W. Edgerton & Associates, made his first revenue trip with the cable line on May 22, 1888. Utilizing a 1½ steel cable, this line ran for 18,800 feet to connect the Central Ave. business district with Kansas City, Missouri. The line was updated with a steam dummy in 1889 and eventually electrified in the summer of 1892.
