Gary, you can change time periods by 20 years just by changing the motive power if you are careful about the cars. Cars had an AAR life of 40 years in your general period, Cabooses stayed active here on Conrail until 1986, and a few were on trains into 88. They stayed longer on CSX, and the P&LE had them until the end ('92). What I'm asking is "Why not be a little flexible"?
