That makes no difference to the FRA. The way the rule is set up, every steam locomotive has a 1,472 day lifespan. Prior to the start of that lifespan, whether the boiler is brand new, was previously in daily service, or had been sitting derelict for 75 years makes no difference. They all need to prove that they have a minimum factor of safety of 4, and tubes that were put in less than a year previously.
