Calgary-Banff Passenger Rail Project

planned

A proposed passenger rail service from Calgary to Banff aimed at delivering sustainable growth, tourism expansion, climate leadership, and reconciliation through transportation. The project envisions a conventional rail system leveraging existing Canadian Pacific-Kansas City railway lines, with stops in downtown Calgary, West Calgary, Cochrane, Mînî Thnî, Canmore, and Banff. The project includes plans for a multi-modal transit hub and tourist arrival centre at Banff train station, with intercept parking lots on both sides of the tracks. The project is being pushed as a 'project of national interest' to fast-track approval and construction.
