The Burlington Northern's Empire Builder at Shelby on May 25, 1970. The Great Northern Railway's logo is still visible on the station.

Shelby is a smoke-break stop for both westbound and eastbound Empire Builder, with continuing passengers allowed to step off the train at Shelby. Due to "padding" in the westbound schedule, if the westbound Empire Builder is on-time into Shelby, the stop in Shelby can be as long as a train service stop.
