• Notes

  The Deseret News January 22, 1994 Associated Press A Paradise, Cache County, couple were killed in Nibley when their automobile was struck by an approaching Union Pacific train. Killed were:Blair Reed Nielsen, 77. Rosella Nielsen, 74. The Nielsens were pronounced dead at Logan Regional Hospital following the 2:30 p.m. accident Thursday. The train, made up of an engine and caboose, was traveling about 25 mph when it hit the car, said investigating Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Robert Scheffer. The train pushed the vehicle across a 10-foot-wide ditch, where the car rolled and ejected the couple. No one on the train was injured. UHP Sgt. Gary Johnson said the crossing is marked with warning signs, but no lights nor an automatic arm. Scheffer said the train blew its whistle as it approached the crossing, but he does not know why the couple drove across the tracks.
