I would love to be able to hop on a train after work in Edmonton, have dinner in Calgary, watch the Oilers crush the Flames, then get back to bed in Edmonton.

Just how fast is this train going?

Modern high speed rail trains hit 300 kph handily enough. You could easily spend an hour in traffic and parking going to an NHL game in your own city.

Under the gossamer veil of 'nation building', you would think Alberta would have chosen a Calgary-Edmonton HSR/HFR project rather than a tourist train to a destination that is already horribly overcrowded.

The idea is to get less cars into Banff with this with a fixed ticket price of around $30-$35, It would travel between calgary and Banff, eventually being extended to Lake Louise, and Jasper, then loop over to Edmonton. I agree though HSR would be a better project
