I like the way this guy thinks!

The Cochrane line would have to have a stop somewhere near Bowness or Montgomery.
The Strathmore line would need a stop for Chestermere but beyond that I'm at a loss for the location of any station within Calgary.

Only point of contention here is what to do about Strathmore--last I checked, the rail bed through that town was salvaged decades ago, so the furthest you'd get due east would be to Chestermere. Now if you were buying near Kathyrn or Indus for a commuter rail TOD, on the other hand, you'd make it back hand over fist, as Indus is on the CPR mainline, and CN still runs through Kathyrn....
