Province on board with building high-speed Calgary-Edmonton rail link: developer
Province on board with building high-speed Calgary-Edmonton rail link: developer

Proponents of a high-speed rail link between Calgary and Edmonton say they’ve received backing from the provincial government to begin developing what’s long been an unrealized transportation dream in Alberta.
Edmonton-based construction giant EllisDon Corp. says it’s formed a partnership with infrastructure consultant AECOM dubbed Prairie Link to move the $9-billion infrastructure project forward.
And the group says it’s signed a memorandum of understanding with the UCP government that paves the way for its development of the 350-400 km/h train that could transport passengers between the cities in a little over an hour and would also include a station in Red Deer.
