As an attempt to generate extra revenue, the LBC constructed large riding cars for tourists from Grand Junction. The cars, called “Go Devils”, were towed to Carpenter on the back of an LBC train. The adventurous could then climb aboard and go ‘like the devil’ on the return to Grand Junction, powered by gravity with only a wooden brake to slow the descent. Sails were added as an experiment, but they did not work out.
In 1923 when the Bookcliff mine closed, the LBC was also closed and was scrapped. Unfortunately, little of the LBC was saved. However, a damaged freight car truck was left behind and was unintentionally buried in the LBC’s rail yard in downtown Grand Junction. The truck was discovered during the construction of the Mesa County Court house in 2000 and is now on display at the Museum of the West.
