Calgary Train Accident Today — A train-related incident in Calgary has led to significant disruption and an ongoing response from emergency personnel, with local news and eyewitness reports indicating that a person was struck by a train in the city earlier today.
Social media posts from Calgary citizens near Heritage Station on Calgary Transit’s LRT Red Line show heavy police and transit officer presence, with the train platform blocked off by police tape and transit service temporarily halted. Commuters reported being evacuated from trains and shuttle buses being used to bypass the affected section, suggesting the incident involved a pedestrian and the train system.
At this stage, official details from Calgary Police Service or Calgary Transit have not yet been released, and information such as the identity of the person involved, their condition, and exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear. Local commenters in the area also indicated that someone may have been struck by a train car, referencing observations of the scene.

Authorities are expected to provide a formal update once they have confirmed the circumstances and condition of those involved. In the meantime, commuters should expect continued transit delays along the Red Line and seek alternate routes while the situation is being addressed.
This is a developing story. More information will be shared as official statements become available.
