Former railway services

Below the office tower and retail centre are the remains of a disused inter-city railway station formerly used by Canadian Pacific Railway, Via Rail, Rocky Mountaineer and Royal Canadian Pacific passenger train services.[2] The station is on the Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway line.

The station was completed in 1967 to serve the Canadian Pacific Railway. Following Via Rail's takeover of Canadian Pacific's passenger services, it was managed by Via Rail until the company's 1990 service reductions ended regular rail services to Calgary. Afterwards, both Rocky Mountaineer and Royal Canadian Pacific used the station intermittently for several years as a boarding point for their rail tours.[3]
