Wolf Point, Montana is a station stop for the Amtrak Empire Builder in Wolf Point, Montana. It is advised that, while short- and long-term parking is available adjacent to the station, Amtrak patrons should park either at a nearby business (for a small fee) or at a private residence. This is due to the relatively high rate of vandalism at the station and throughout much of the community.

The station, platform, and parking are owned by BNSF Railway.[2][3]

Of the twelve Montana stations served by Amtrak, Wolf Point was the sixth busiest in FY10, boarding or detraining an average of 19 passengers daily.[4]
