Whitefish, Montana is the busiest station stop for the Amtrak Empire Builder in Montana based on ridership. In addition to the Empire Builder, Amtrak's Thruway Motorcoach also links the station to Kalispell and Missoula, Montana, USA. A car rental agency operates a window within the station, so that detraining passengers may pick up rental vehicles right at the station itself. The station and parking lot are owned by the Stumptown Historical Society. BNSF Railway leases office space on the second floor of the station and owns the platform and track.^[2]^[3]

The Tudor Revival station building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 and is known therein as the Great Northern Railway Passenger and Freight Depot and Division Office, or as the Whitefish Depot.^[4]

Of the twelve Montana stations served by Amtrak, Whitefish was the busiest in FY10, boarding or detraining an average of about 180 passengers daily. It is the busiest station stop between the Pacific Ocean and Midway Station in St. Paul, Minnesota on the Empire Builder route.^[5]

Whitefish marks the western end of the BNSF's Hi Line Subdivision and the eastern end of the Kootenai River Subdivision.
