CTrain
CTrain is a light rail system in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It has been in operation since May 25, 1981. The system is operated by Calgary Transit, as part of the Calgary municipal government's transportation department.
Operations
The CTrain system has two routes, with a combined route length of 59.9 kilometres (37.2 mi). There is a connection from the light rail track to the Canadian Pacific Railway line via a track switch near Heritage Station.
The longer route (Route 201; 35 km long) serves the southern and northwestern areas of the city. The shorter route (Route 202; 25.7 km long) serves the northeastern and western sections of the city. Most track is at grade, with its own right-of-way. The downtown portion is a shared right-of-way, serving both routes along the 7th Avenue South transit mall at street level. This portion is a zero-fare zone and serves as a downtown people mover. The tracks split at the east and west ends of downtown into lines leading to the south, northeast, west and northwest residential neighbourhoods of Calgary. Six percent of the system is underground, and seven percent is grade-separated (elevated). Trains are powered by overhead electric wires, using pantographs to draw power.
