Amtrak restores daily service across Montana’s Hi-Line

The Empire Builder across Montana’s Hi-Line is back in business as Amtrak restores its daily service after cutting back during the pandemic.

The Empire Builder runs between Chicago and the Northwest, with stops in Montana towns like Shelby and Whitefish.

Amtrak officials say they’ve hired close to 1500 new employees this year and are reopening routes around the country.

The route resumes daily service on May 23.
