West Glacier, Montana is a station stop for the Amtrak "Empire Builder" in West Glacier, Montana. The station was the sixth-busiest stop in Montana in FY07, on average boarding or detraining eighteen passengers daily.
The station building, constructed in 1910 and enlarged in 1935, was donated to the Glacier Natural History Association in 1991 and now houses the offices and bookstore of that organization. Amtrak ticketing and other passenger services are not available. The adjacent track and platform continue to be owned by BNSF Railway. The station is historically known as Belton.
