  CZirigs  who  experience  crowded  rides during Stampede week may  wonder  why  trains  aren't  running with four cars during the 10-day event. 
 
  Calgary  Transit  says  there's  a legitimate reason  for  that.
 
 
  During  the Calgary Stampede,  trains  run  24  hours  a  day,  but without the  extra  car that is  often  the norm  during  busy events.  Calgary  Transit's  Melissa Morrow  says  this  is  due  to  construction at the Haysboro  camp.
 
 
 
  "Logistically,  we  can't  have  four-car trains because we  don't  have the  space,"  he  says.  "With  the Haysboro  expansion,  we will have  a  platform that  can  handle  larger trains." 
 
 
  Morrow says there will be four-car trains  again in the future when there is capacity for  them.
 
  "We know  it  will  improve  our service and  be beneficial to our customers,"  he  says. "We want to have  that  expanded garage and have the facilities  to  be able to  properly  maintain  and store  them.  " 
 
  The  expansion  of  the facility in the  southwest  of  the  city  began in January and will be  completed  in  fall  2024.| 
 
  Old-style  CTrains with  white,  purple  and blue graphics will  soon  be  completely  retired .
