The Kansas City Mule and St. Louis Mule are a pair of 283-mile (455 km) passenger trains operated by Amtrak running between St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri. They operate as part of the Missouri Service train network. The trains use the same track as one other Amtrak route, the Ann Rutledge.

Because the tracks are owned by Union Pacific, freight trains have priority over passenger trains. This often results in severe delays for Amtrak, such as those seen in May 2007, when the Missouri Department of Transportation blamed UP for the disruptions. [1]
