Jackson is the site of a former settlement in Utah's western desert. On February 20, 1904, during a collision between two South Pacific trains, a cartload of dynamite exploded, wrecking everything within a half a mile radius, including the majority of lives within the town of 45.[1] The effects are credited to concussion, although officials at the time were surprised by the disaster's magnitude.[2]
