I'm sorry, Robert, I misunderstood.  I thought you were referring to the Litchfield coal car behind the Tiffany reefer.

You're right.  The Litchfield coal car 3210 was photographed at Pine at least in 1895, maybe later.  I stand corrected, as obviously there was nothing incompatible about air brake rigging of the day and brake beams hung from side frame extensions.  Good pickup!  It looks like on the South Park, if something wasn't broke, they didn't bother to fix it, no matter how old it was.
