Reply to "Poling pockets"

When were poling pockets discontinued?

Well into the diesel era. I'm thinking the 1970s?

Was it due to regulation?

Yes, when polling freight cars became "illegal", diesel units no longer required polling pockets on the endplates.

Did having a pole hung under the  side of a tender ever become an actionable penalty?

No.
