One of Russell's comments in his latest post brought up a related question
in my mind -

In the Q's late steam era, some Prairies were assigned to work train duty
and given an additional air compressor on the pilot deck, to provide for
air-operated dump cars and tools. Were any diesels ever equipped with
additional compressed air capacity for that purpose?
