Would you take the train for a round trip of, say, $100?

No. Why? Because as a local I have essentially zero reason to just go to Banff for the day. I would go to the mountains to hike/ski/bike or whatever then maybe stop in Banff for lunch or dinner or something.
Still need a car to get anywhere that isn't totally inundated with people.
Oh not to mention it would be significantly cheaper and faster to drive.
