The Calgary Airport-Banff Railway project in Alberta has garnered support from major unions, promising to create over 5,000 jobs while connecting Calgary International Airport to Banff National Park. Backed by the Canada Infrastructure Bank and CPKC railway company, the 93-mile route will feature zero-emission hydrogen locomotives and aims to enhance tourism by increasing visitor numbers by 20-30%, all while minimizing environmental impact through careful planning and community engagement.
