Yes, but it's convenient that the biggest proponent and champion of this is Adam Waterous who owns Mount Norquay Ski resort, and a multi-year lease of the Banff train station site that would be used for the train.

That all said Adam Waterous probably has a lot of easier ways to make money than this project and for him it's most certainly a passion project. But like all wealthy philanthropists there's always a commercial aspect to everything they do.
