Why would CP want to? I believe there was a plan to move the mainline tracks to follow the river through downtown but I have no idea if that meant divesting themselves of the land along 9th. There's a map somewhere....

I like the trains downtown. I think we can all coexist. They are the reason Calgary grew into a transportation and distribution hub and allowed us to become what we are today.
