In Googling Utah & Northern I found a page done by UTAH RAILS that is a compilation of materials found in local papers about the U&N from roughly 1878 until it was standard gauged.Mention of the Doddridge car is somewhere in the 1878 or 1879 period.It was supposed to be the invention of a local U&N employee who I believe lived in Franklin,Idaho.It mentioned that they were being used to haul grain.
