If this will invite more tourists to the area, it has to be a non-starter.
I'm in one of - or all of - Canmore, Banff and Lake Louise 75% of weekends all year long. They're all too full. If this will stimulate more tourism in the area we should not even want it.
In conjunction with building the train, we'd need to build another Banff in the corridor. In fact, we should have started doing that 20 years ago. If you can get past that hurdle then I'm all for the train. Town has to come first, though.
