Shelby, Montana is a station stop for the Amtrak Empire Builder in Shelby, Montana. The station is served by Amtrak's daily Empire Builder. Near Highway US-2, the station is adjacent to downtown Shelby. The station, platform, and parking are owned by BNSF Railway.[2][3]

Shelby is a smoke-break stop for the westbound Empire Builder, with continuing passengers allowed to step off the train at Shelby. Due to "padding" in the westbound schedule, if the westbound Empire Builder is on-time into Shelby, the stop in Shelby can be as long as a train service stop.

Of the twelve Montana stations served by Amtrak, Shleby was the third busiest in FY10, boarding or detraining an average of 45 passengers daily.[4]
