Plus due to the climate in Alberta where we have temperatures all the way from -35 to +35 the gaps in the tracks would have to be so big that the train would have a max speed nowhere near what the trains in Japan have.
Can you give me one good reason why this is a good idea?

the security on a rail line like that, while higher than the c-train, would be nothing close to what it is in the airport. there's no REAL chance of anyone hijacking the train and driving it into the white house or forcing the driver to change course and go to cuba.
