CALGARY - EDMONTON HIGH SPEED RAIL STUDIES, MAP

LIST OF ALL ALBERTA HIGH SPEED RAIL STUDIES

2010 Edmonton - Calgary High Speed Rail Map - Tems Inc.

Since 1985 there have been studies about the possibility of a high speed rail corridor between Calgary and Edmonton. The longer they wait to implement HSR the more difficult and expensive it has become. 

There was a business Alberta High Speed Rail (2005) Inc that had been pushing for high speed rail. Their website is now gone and it's current business status is unknown. 

In 2014 a study was released stating that Alberta was not ready for high speed rail and they should spend their money on inner city light rail rather than inter-city connections.

Below are links to the major studies that have been completed. Please credit High Speed Rail Canada as a reference if you use these studies. We want all Canadians to know about our educational resource centre.
