A non-profit foundation has established a fund to help the families of two men who died after a railcar they were working on exploded last week.
The fund has been set up by the Riverton Depot Foundation, a non profit 501(c)3, partnered with the Wasatch Victims Benefit Fund, according to Shoshoni Police Department Chief Chris Konija.
Money can be sent to the foundation directly, or through a GoFundMe account Konija recently set up.
