I seem to recall that Westinghouse automatic air brakes were applied to the freight car fleet in the winter of 1883-84. The 27 foot Tiffanys from St Charles, and the 27 foot UP built boxcars and coal cars were delivered with air brakes.

So the short 26 foot Tiffanys likely rode around with Eames brakes for several years, 1880 to 1883.
