Calgary CTrain in Action IV - August & September 2021

[@garyhersemeyer2642]

Calgary has beautiful CTrains, both the newer red-white-gray trains and the older tri-colour striped trains. I like the way Calgary's system is more like an true LRT operation and less like a subway (i.e. Edmonton.) I also like the scenes of the trains entering and exiting the maintenance building at McKnight Westwinds. Thanks for filming and sharing!!

I heard Calgary Transit might be able to accommodate 5- car trains like Edmonton in the future! Nice video btw!

[@Welwyn22]

It would require extending nearly all of the existing platforms as they're only long enough for four-unit trains. This sounds easy enough but is complicated by road crossings as well as track crossovers (like Somerset-Bridlewood).

@@Welwyn22 There are spaces on the other end, not the one close to the Calgary Transit Office/Bus Stations. Question though, In your opinion, which would be a great candidate fleet for the CTrain Green Line? Alstom? Siemens S70 or 700, Bombardier?

[@Welwyn22]

Not sure. Calgary's fleet is all Siemens so S70s would be most likely, but we'll have to wait and see.

Kilo Greenline will use 28 CAF urbous 100 LRV
