July 4, 1880, the Rocky Mountain News reported that the DSP&P now had 2 Tiffany refrigerator cars
The Union Pacific took over the DSP&P Dec, 1880
The first entry in the South Park "Boston" Journal for air brakes is March, 1883 and it is for $486.53 after that there is a monthly entry for more air brakes, and they are for thousands of dollars
In short the Park converted to air brakes in 1883
So yes the 26' cars would have been equipped with Eames brakes
