Westbrook Station - Calgary's only underground commuter train station - The stairs down

Larry had some errands to do in this area, and so I tagged along in order to pay a visit to this unique train station in Calgary. Our 60 km long commuter train network is called the Ctrain. While there are a number of tunnels in the system, it is unfortunately primarily at grade, even in the busy downtown core. All but one of its 45 train stations are on the surface, with only Westbrook Station being fully underground. Edmonton, on the other hand has quite a number of underground stations, especially in the downtown. Interestingly, although this station is enclosed and underground, it is NOT heated, and you could see your breath waiting for a train on the platform, just like you would outside...
