The train to Vancouver left Jasper around 10 PM, something like three hours late. The waiting was stressful, and Steve was concerned about making sure we had seats together (they do not do reservations in economy class). It turned out to be a non-issue, because the train was not very full. In fact, it was empty enough that we each got a pair of seats to ourselves, which made it easier to find a comfortable position to sleep in.
When we woke up, we were traveling along the Thompson River, through a scrubby, semi-arid landscape.
The landscape became more lush as we joined the Fraser River for the rest of the way to Vancouver.
And we arrived in Vancouver almost an hour early! Some combination of intrepid train-driving and lots of padding in the schedule, I expect.
