Are the cities in Alberta set up for a train station even. The advantage to all the European cities are that they developed around a train as being a major means of transportation and there was the ability to just bulldoze (poor) people's homes in order to create a rail network. Trying to shoehorn a rail system into the geography of the city is near impossible. All the major European cities that I can think of have a central train station.
I like the theory of the train but I think that there will never be the political will or the financial capital to make it worthwhile.
