I saw the car with this plate sitting at an Amtrak station, appropriately. 1st train ride was at 18 months old...and still riding the rails! Reply TomDiehl Member sinceFebruary 2001 From: Poconos, PA 3,948 posts Posted by TomDiehl on Saturday, June 18, 2005 10:01 PM Pennsylvania's plate is a Griff Teller painting titled "Racing for the Dawn." I believe the story goes that it was pained for the official PRR calender one year. It IS of a PRR K-4s, but unfortunately it's a rather dark picture, hard to see unless you're close up. Smile, it makes people wonder what you're up to.

They should, though.

I've got Volunteer Firefighter plates on my ride, so wouldn't have a place to hang railfan plates anyhow...

I've been stopped by other railfans asking whether these are indeed railfan plates.... Yup! :) Reply Edit Kurn Member sinceJanuary 2005 From: Akron,OH 229 posts Posted by Kurn on Thursday, June 16, 2005 8:46 PM Ohio's gonna have a plate with a picture of rails being torn up and replaced with bike trails.................

Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, June 16, 2005 4:38 PM Ive seen the Virginia Norfolk and Western Plate and I like it. The PA plate is OK but the picture is hard to see as a train. It is a real painting of a K4 pulling the Broadway Limited, I think.

Do any other states offer RR enthusiast license plates, and if so what do they look like?[:p] Nevada offers this V & T plate, which I have on one of my cars.

I hope more states start offering them soon.It is nice to know that at least one state offers railroad enthusiast license plates.[:)] Yes we call it the Dinky. Why? Well cause it's dinky!
