The scenery for this leg of the trip was unbelievable.  What a day!  It was very clear outside, crisp, and cold; a postcard out every window.

 We stopped in a remote town in BC called "Penny" and it apparently was a saw milling town at one time. Now it only has about 8 people living there.  It still has its post office and its mail is still delivered by the train.

When we stopped briefly in Penny, there was a very nice Dog that came and sat by the train waiting for anyone to pay some attention to him - perhaps wishing for his very own Postal Delivery person that he could bark at and chase - but instead only train passengers who gave him a gentle and much welcome pat on the head. 

The Penny post office used to be a building about the size of a garden shed, but the current building which is in the picture is much bigger - about the size of an average bedroom.  The train crew calls the Post office in Penny "The Mall".

So, naturally, I had to send a postcard from Penny, British Columbia signifying that I was there and justifying the existence of the Penny Post Office.

After that it was all spectacular mountain scenery and about 100 kilometers prior to arriving in Jasper

 Mount Robson - highest mountain peak in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and usually surrounded by a layer of clouds was wide open for everyone to see, a rare occasion.
