I totally agree that 1782 was a former box car.
Question?
Does anyone have the measurements of the car set off at Como?
The UP roster of 1885 puts their length at 28', which looks to be a little short.  
Also note in the photo that the dinky baggage car if much taller than a normal box car.
Inventory and tools, Jan, 1895?  Is this for U&N caboose 1601?  

As for 1601 returning to Utah
OSL  O.R.E.G.
 Nov, 1897  The equipment is being renumbered
          Caboose #1601-1644 and #1807 -1858 to #600-673
            (Note that 1600 is missing, while 1601 is listed, which means if it is not on the property it is still claimed by the OSL, long after Trumbull has taken over the UPD&G.  And as yet there has been no paper work found showing it being bought by the UPD&G by Trumbull.  From what I have read in the UPD&G receivership papers, Trumbull appeared to cross all T's and dot all I's    

Later, March, 1899, OSL, O.R.E.G.
      Caboose N.G. Bodies #600-608
      Caboose B.G. Bodies #609-673
      Narrow Gauge
      Caboose #599
