I can see the appeal of a Calgary to Banff train (with stops in Cochrane, Stoney, Canmore) as I think there is a good tourism-centred case for it. Ideally it would even go out to Lake Louise, assuming the existing line goes that way.

But Calgary to Edmonton? Maybe the numbers work, but definitely less interested in that one.
