HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

50, Sec. 1, 37 Stat. 670; Jan. 28, 1925, ch. 102, 43 Stat. 793;

1949 ACT
This section [section 44] conforms section 2117 of title 18,
U.S.C., more closely with the original law from which it was
derived, and with section 659 of such title.
AMENDMENTS
1994 - Pub. L. 103-322, which directed the amendment of section
2217 of this title by substituting "under this title" for "not more
than $5,000", was executed by making the substitution in the first
par. of this section, to reflect the probable intent of Congress,
because this title does not contain a section 2217.
1966 - Pub. L. 89-654 substituted "Breaking or entering carrier
facilities" for "Railroad car entered or seal broken" as section
catchline, inserted reference to "pipeline system", substituted
"freight or express or other property" for "freight or express",
and prohibited any construction which might indicate a
Congressional intent to occupy the field or invalidate State law.
1949 - Act May 24, 1949, inserted last par.
