Rail goes downtown to downtown in 3 hours max including the stops at Red Deer and both airports. No security, no baggage claim, very little waiting time. It's a farrrr superior option to the two shitty options we currently have.


Immediate

Chinook Line:

Edmonton - YEG - (Wetaskiwin) - Red Deer - (Olds) - (Airdrie) - YYC - Calgary - Okotoks - (High River) - Lethbridge


Mountain Line:

Calgary - Cochrane - Canmore - Banff - (Lake Louise)

Stations in parentheses are future stations...





Possible Future (feasibility uncertain past Lethbridge)

Prairie Line:

Calgary - Okotoks or High River (or eventually both?) - Lethbridge - Medicine Hat - Swift Current - Moose Jaw - Regina - Brandon - Portage La Prairie - Winnipeg

Of course it would be more convenient. Is it practical? Can anyone quickly tabulate the population between Toronto and Ottawa and between Calgary and Edmonton?
