Penny railway station is on the Canadian National Railway mainline in Penny, British Columbia. Via Rail's Jasper – Prince Rupert train calls at the station as a flag stop.[2][3]
The station was built by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1914. The station burned down in a 1947 fire and the station building from Lindup, British Columbia was moved to this location. The station building was again moved in 1988 to the Prince George Railway Museum.[1]
Penny no longer receives mail by train. The service was cut off in January 2014.
