w w w . d i s t i n c t l y m o n t a n a . c o m 35 ALL ABOARD! While trains are still used today to transport grains and goods to and through Montana, passenger's primary mode of transportation has changed with cars, buses and personalized car ser- vices like Uber. Trains are still a popular way for travelers and tourists to see the Treasure state. Amtrak's Empire Builder train service carries passengers through Montana's Glacier Country and allows those to see parts of Montana that are so remote, you could only see them by rail. Amtrak also journeys through Glacier Country with eight stops including East Glacier, West Glacier (at the western entrance of Glacier National Park), Cut Bank, Browning, Marias Pass where you can cross the Continental Divide at 5,216 feet, Essex, White Fish and Libby (source: glaciermt.com/ trains) If you're planning a trip to Montana, consider traveling by train. One main benefit of traveling by train is you won't send your budget off the rails. Amtrak ticket prices don't generally fluctuate like airline tickets and are usually much cheaper (often half or even less the price of airline tickets). Trains also offer greater flexibility making family travel easier and less stressful than flying. Children can move around more freely and you'll have the space to pack the comforts of home. Small pets are also allowed on most Amtrak routes too!
