Jim, the 40-year rule didn't exist until 1974, and it is not an FRA 
regulation.  It's included in the AAR Interchange Rules, which carries 
no penalties.  A road can refuse to accept an over-40-year-old car in 
interchange, or it can choose to accept it.  In fact there are some 
examples of two or more roads having old cars in a particular service 
that continue to run past 40, by mutual agreement to waive the rule.
