Having lived in Illinois, New Mexico and Arizona I have had three different license plates. Ill,was RR NUT, NM was, RAILFAN and AZ was FE HORS
The Ontario licence plate on my Honda Accord is AMTRAK 1 Someone else in Ontario had AMTRAK so I had to go for #1
Thanks for mentioning South West Chief I'm the Sunset Limited' At the end of 2019 I will have completed traversing the complete Amtrak system Only five more short routes to cover.
I remember looking at an application for a Minnesota personal plate about 30 years ago. It was $100 then and is now at least $200. On the application you have to explain the meaning of the wording you are seeking.
Modeling the "Fargo Area Rapid Transit" in O scale 3 rail.
I have seen CRRONJ ,too! in altoona pa.
I used to have those plates on my car- I had the standard plates with the CJ number which I believe they have run out of - now they reside in my license plate collection and my car has Virginia's light house plates.
I believe that Virginia has another plate with railroad subject matter - I am pretty sure that the James River Park system plate shows the CSX/former Atlantic Coast Line bridge over the James River - https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/vehicles/#splates/info.asp?idnm=JRPM
The trails around the James River can indeed lead to some very good views of that bridge - Pump House Park which also features the former steam pump house for the City of Richmond and canal locks is a particularly cool location along the park system.
Those might be my next plates
For over twenty years I've had Ohio plate "K4S PRR" which currently is on my 99 Wrangler TJ. One of my older plates is on license display wall at the Station Inn in Cresson PA. Cost is about 80 per year to have a personalized plate in Ohio.

My personalized licence plate is HI IRON. I have had it for at least 20 years and I got the idea from the steam powered excursion trips sponsored by The High Iron Company back in the 70s and 80s.
A friend of mine had BNSF here in Massachusetts, but gave it up when he moved to New Hampshire.
Another friend has had AMTRAK since 1971, and I ran across a Vermont AMTRAK up at White River Jct., VT on the car of the Amtrak ticket clerk.
Yet another has "NHRR" for New Haven Railroad, and one in Connecticut has EP5 370 (a New Haven electric EP-5).
My new car displays the license plate frame a lot better:

@ Southwest Cheif, Cool!
I saw a Minnesota plate this week that just said "TRAIN". Though I suppose it could be a dedicated athlete.
