I'd guess "Regular Service" is the key here, "Continuous service" also. Iowa Traction RR in Clear Lake, still rosters a fleet of ancient electric interurban locomotives, steeple cab style. oldest is #60 built by Baldwin-Westinghouse. still running in "revenue" service (earning its keep), pretty much daily (at least never "retired", per se)
History of #60:
1917-1932 Youngstown & Ohio River Railroad
1932-1948 Union Electric Railway
1948- Mason City & Clear Lake Railway et seq. (IA terminal, IA Traction)
Still working as of a couple weeks ago
