Glacier Rail Park
Glacier Rail Park is a rail-served industrial district on the northeast side of Kalispell, Montana, developed to preserve and modernize freight rail service in the Flathead Valley. Opened in 2018 through a partnership between local agencies and BNSF Railway, the park consolidated rail-served industries into a purpose-built site while allowing former downtown trackage to be repurposed for community use.
Today, Glacier Rail Park hosts a mix of agricultural supply, building materials, manufacturing, and transload operations. BNSF provides line-haul service and interchange, while local and shortline partners handle on-site switching and distribution. The park continues to serve as a key logistics hub for northwest Montana, balancing modern freight needs with the region’s long railroad heritage.
