What was the name of the law that prohibited Canadian locomotives

It began when? It was repealed when?
Walt, my impression is that this was a customs regulation not a
law or treaty per se; it was 24, not 48, hours; and it applied to all
equipment.
I've only seen it mentioned in an off-hand way in various books and
other publications. I actually tried to look into it on-line a month
or so ago but to no avail. The sense I get is that it changed some
time in the '60s.
