I guess I'm out of luck then. The MFCL isn't interested in anything built before 1960. So the thousands of freight cars built before, but in service after, apparently have no place.

Nothing wrong with identifying "end of service" beyond 1960, but this was entering into a detailed description of service after 1960. You're right that neither list is enthused about considerable extensions beyond its boundary.
