Dear ACL Fan, <br /> <br />Yes I agree that Union Pacific has a right to control the use of their own emblem and image but that is not the issue here. Did you know that Union Pacific thinks they own the rights to emblems of all predissesor railroads that have been absorbed not only by UP but by UP's direct predicessors? For example UP not only thinks they own the Chicago and North Wester image, but also railroads CNW had swallowed up! Do you really think that UP can lay claim to owning Chicago Great Western and the M&StL? And to those who think this is an old issue, I would like to inform you that UP is apealing a recent court decision that was decided in the Model Maker's favor. Considering the pro-corporate administration we have in the White House, the situation is still precarious. I was just recently told that Kaydee is dropping all roadnames from it's product lines that may run afoul this issue, we are not out of the woods yet!
