Officer Charles Gilbert "Gil" Porter, 59, was killed May 2, 1970, after
he was struck by a train. Porter was checking fishing licenses along the
Weber River near Stoddard when he was hit by a passing train. Witnesses
said Porter apparently failed to hear the train coming because another
train was passing on a parallel track.
