I recently had the good fortune to have a cab ride in a 1964 Alco. While I don't think an in-service 40 year old loco is too unusual, what WOULD be an unusual age for a freight car still on the active roster??

The boxcars themselves were built in the 1940's perhaps, but conversion into cabooses was not done until the mid 1960's.Cars have REBLT 6/1945 in the black data box this must be the date in which they were built over all as boxcars then? There are no dates as to when NYC/PC Rebuilt them.
