Let's see...#3184 last had the NYAB rotary screw compressor (not the 3YC type though it originally had), when it lasted operated in regular service until it retired in 1989, and that was because it was a GOH'd car. There was a rumor that #3184 now has an air compressor taken off from an R-27/30, but I cannot confirm that story if it true.#3189 is supposed to still have the 3YC air compressor, but it may been inactive for so many years ago. It was the R.C.I. Yard-School Car assigned and stationed at Pitkin Yard beginning in the mid-1980's, and I am sure it will take a much effort and extreme cost in getting #3189 up and running again. -William A.
