I find it wonderful that people are still upset with Union Pacific's decision to require licensing the use of their trademark to model railroad manufacturers! It appears that CSX is getting on board with this stupid idea also, as can be read about in the November Issue of Mainline Modeler. Two of the five letters to the editor deal with this issue and the Publisher's Comments in Mainline Commentary "Give No Quarter" to the Union Pacific over this issue. Made especially clear is the "Fallen Flags" debate. These flags have fallen and are no longer in use. Unless being used in day to day service, the truth appears that they have become public property and are not Union Pacific's, CSX's or anyone's except American History. My opinion on this whole matter is; if you have enough money, are stupid enough and are a bully, you can waste everyones time and money! I am glad to see a publication take a stand! Maybe there is some courage left in American business!
