Calgary-Banff Rail

The 130-kilometre sustainable passenger rail service would provide a modern and sustainable travel option from the airport to one of Canada’s most popular tourism destinations.

The project would also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and congestion in the Calgary to Banff National Park corridor.It has been almost 30 years since the Province of Alberta had regular rail service between its largest city and Canada’s most visited national park.
