... In 1867, during the building of the Union Pacific transcontinental railroad, Julesburg served as an "end-of-track" town, where railroad workers would live while not laboring. At that time, about 4,000 workers inhabited the town, which had grown numerous saloons and gambling tents to serve them. As the railroad advanced into Wyoming, new towns such as Cheyenne sprung up to house and service its workers. According to historian David T. Courtwright, end-of-track towns like Julesburg, Cheyenne and others.
