Serving East Juab County A Nice Place to Live! November 18, 1982 Colorado River Storage Project is city's most valuable power source The Colorado rv Union Pacific crews use cranes and derrick Saturday afternoon to hoist their derailed engine back on the TNPhoto tracks. They used a similar method Saturday night to lift a D&RGW locomotive. A misaligned track switch caused the derailment of two locomotives, a caboose, and a box car in Nephi last w'eek. At about 11 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 12, the Juab County Sheriffs office received many reports of a tremendous noise in the vecinity of Fifth South and Third West. Officers of the Nephi Police Department were sent to the scene, and found the derailment. Union Pacific Railroad spokesman Dick Tincher said an unoccupied UP work train consisting of an engine, a caboose, and ap outfit car was sitting on a siding west of Utah Foam Prod- Union ; nets. Meanwhile, an Pacific coal train pulled by four Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad engines was headed south through Nephi. When the coal train was eight to 10 train car lengths away from the Utah Foam siding, the trains head brakeman saw that the sidings switch was turned wrong, and applied the trains emergency braking system. The train was slowed down, but could not stop. The train hit the switch at about 25 miles per hour, and headed into the siding. The two cars and the engine on the siding were derailed, as was the lead engine of the coal train. The outfit car was thrown across the main track and the caboose ended up on its side in Utah Foams yard. Both the Union Pacific engine and the D&RGW engine went off the track, and ran about two feet into the ground. Only one person received injuries from the derailment. G.L. Browner, the lead engines brakeman, had bruised ribs. ; - The coal train blocked many tailroad crossings, including the one at First North. Officers of the 86-c- Sheriffs Jeep Patrol and the Nephi Police Department rerouted traffic on SR132 along the airport road. Union Pacific equipment was sent to the scene, and the track was reopened at 4:30 a.m. Saturday. Later Saturday, two truck-mounte- d cranes were sent from UPs Provo yard, a d Pettibone crane was sent from Salt Lake City, and e derrick was sent from a Salt Lake City.

The der rick hooked onto one end of the engine, another crane hooked onto the other end, and a another crane pulled from the side. Saturday night the Rio Grande engine was put back on the rails using the same process. As of yet, Union Pacific has no estimate as to the damage to the engines, to the cars, or to the track. The cost of placing the engines back into service has also yet to be determined. An estimate of damage to the Utah Foam Products building was not available. The cause of the wrongly thrown switch is still under investigation, UP officials say. ar Tuesday night A seminar dealing with subjects of concern to local cattlemen will be held in the county room of the Juab County Center Tuesday, Nov. 23.

Burglars net $10,000 in goods from Nephi Lumber Almost $10,000 in goods and a 1974 Chevrolet pickup were stolen from Nephi Lumber Company last week. According to the Nephi Police Department, the burglary hap- pened in the early morning hours of Wednesday, Nov. 10. The burglars entered the building through the back door, and then went through the building filling garbage cans and garbage bags with a variety of carpentry tools, knives, toys, chain saws, watches, radios, and other items. They loaded the merchandise into the pickup truck parked in the yard and then left. The burglars used a bolt cutter to cut the lock on the yards chain link gate, and then replaced the lock with another lock so that from the street it appeared as if no one had entered. The burglary was reported to the Nephi Police Department at about 8 a.m. Wednesday. Four of the chain saws have since been found at the Orem City Park in Provo Canyon, and the stolen truck was found in Diamond Fork Canyon, above Spanish Fork. We strongly feel that the perpetrators of the crime were from the Utah County area, because the truck and some of the stolen goods were found there, says Nephi Chief of Police William O. Young. The Nephi Police Department and other area law enforcement agencies are investigating the crime.
