Partnerships announced to develop Calgary-Banff passenger train
CALGARY, AB – Planning continues for a new passenger train that would connect Alberta’s largest city with one of its most iconic recreation destinations.
The Invest Alberta Corporation, the Alberta Government’s Ministry of Transportation, and the Canada Infrastructure Bank have announced a detailed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Calgary-Banff Rail project.
They are proposing a new 150 km rail service that would potentially include seven stops between the Calgary International Airport, downtown Calgary, Calgary Keith, Cochrane, Morley (Stoney Nakoda), Canmore, and Banff.
It would be built along the existing CP Rail corridor.
