An effort was made to locate a Boulder County Assessor card for this property by conducting several searches under different addresses and legal descriptions, but one could not be located. Other Restaurant Names and Closure The restaurant in the train cars continued under different names and different management for about 25 years. For at least part of this time, a boxcar could be used for private events for a fee. Following its years as the Gandy Dancer, it became known as Coal Creek Junction in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A Longmont Daily Times -Call newspaper article from October 30-31, 1976 entitled "Louisville Restaurant Roundup" stated: If you'd like to dine on a "train to nowhere," Coal Creek Junction Restaurant is the place to do it. The restaurant on Boulder Road occupies one end of a string of old boxcars which have been renovated into a shopping and dining center.... Besides the atmosphere, the cuisine is different, with buffalo steaks topping the menu. The[y] also serve prime rib, steak and seafood.... To the delight of rushed business people, a "full -line lunch menu" includes a complimentary glass of wine. In the 1980s and 1990, the restaurant was called Brothers Three. According to sources, it was next Kaddy Shack BBQ, then Hickory Sticks Smoke House & Grill. An exact date of when it closed its doors could not be located, but some local residents believe it to have been in around 2000. Sources The preceding research is based on a review of relevant and available online County property records, census records, oral history interviews, and related resources, and Louisville directories, newspaper articles, maps, files, obituary records, survey records, and historical photographs from the collection of the Louisville Historical Museum. 5
