Inter-city Rail
Edmonton railway station is served by Via Rail trains on their transcontinental service The Canadian. Westbound trains of The Canadian continue toward Jasper, Alberta, while eastbound trains run toward Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The station is located near the City Centre Airport. Formerly, the Via trains arrived at the CN office tower downtown, in the Old Canadian National rail yard, but the downtown trackage has been abandoned to the LRT and new urban development. The High Level Bridge, formerly CPR's route into the downtown, is used in the summer for historical streetcars.
