After the coal mines closed and the town of Bankhead was deserted, many buildings were moved to nearby towns.
The Bankhead Railway Station is now located at the HI Banff Alpine Hostel on Tunnel Mountain Road. This hostel has outstanding views of the Rocky Mountains, a café, a bar, a full-service restaurant, equipment rentals and discounted travel activity packages. You can also find a map of Bankhead at the front door!
