I have rode the rail lines in Seattle and Dallas and neither was well used. Seattle goes into some rough off track areas on its way to downtown. The one from Dallas is even worse and it comes out at Terminal 3 which requires a long shuttle to one of the main terminals. Yeah those are both cheap...but far from convenient.
Given how lousy Canadians are at building infastructure this shouldn't be a very serious consideration in Calgary for a long time. YYC is very close to Downtown as well. Far better ways to use public money than this.
