I'm doubtful on the numbers for your Banff train as well, no way are they getting a track straight enough for 350km/h. I suspect even half that speed would be a challenge. Here are some sample curve radii for various speeds, you can see how a radius 7km is needed for 350km/h.

We don't want to make it too fast, cheap, or convenient, or you likely double the Oiler population here on Battle of Alberta game days.
