Premium RR Links licensed road names UP, CNW, DRGW, MoPac, SP & Amtrak, BNSF, CN and more

UP Licensing Program Links to roadnames affected by UPs licensing rules which raises prices on models, decals and other products carrying art related to UP and over 100 lines absorbed into their system. BNSF, Amtrak, Canadian National and other railroads are also beginning to strictly enforce licensing agrrements and for now, the Golden Age may end with a whimper as prices increase and some websites disappear. Lost links will not be replaced. Visit GOOGLE for more resources. For now, as website related to these "premium" roadnames close those affected will be segregated to a Premium RR section.
