Anonymous writes "Union Pacific Railroad has announced that they are suing Athearn and Lionel for producing models with the UP logo and "[refusing] to enter into licensing agreements for their commercial use of Union Pacific trademarks."

UP's licensing plan was previously discussed here

Note:

JG: Many of the trademarks that Union Pacific is so upset about are from railroads that no longer exist, because Union Pacific bought them out. These insignia haven't been used on trains in decades. Just another detail for the IP absurdity file."
