Whitefish station is a stop on Amtrak's Empire Builder in Whitefish, Montana. I've been on it a few times as we used it a lot more back in the day between the small towns on the prairie. Now all of those stations east bound are closed so I only Whitefish, Shelby and Havre are open now. The Tudor Revival station building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Of the 12 Montana stations served by Amtrak, Whitefish is by far the busiest, boarding or detraining an average of about 170 passengers daily. Whitefish typically handles more than four times as many passengers as the next-busiest Montana station, which varies from year to year between East Glacier Park, Havre, and Shelby. It is the busiest station stop between the Pacific Ocean and Midway Station in St. Paul, Minnesota on the Empire Builder route.
