Hey all. I just moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia. I had to give up my Pennsylvania Heritage Railway License plate (featuring a Pennsy K-4) and exchange it for the Virginia Railway Heritage (featuring N&W Class J No. 611). Just curious as to other railroad themed license plates out there in the other 48 states. Do you have one? Does your state offer a train-themed license plate?
Idaho does not have them
ooohhhh I like 
Don’t have them in Illinois though 
I’ve got the Virginia one…customized for my RR. It seems to make it easier to remember my plate…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-embarassed.gif)
Here in yUK it’s a mite, uh, difficult.
A local Porsche Carrera GT has TRA11N but I have no idea why.
The only license plates we have with only numbers on date from the early part of the last century, and, in any case, only go up to 99. Such a number is going to cost you, probably around half a million. A fellow shooter, who just happens to be a farming equipment dealer, bought five cars with sequential numbers on them - 65L - 69L.
He paid just under four hundred thousand pounds for the privilege. Nice cars, though.

I don’t believe Florida has such a plate, but if they did and I had one, I surely would not be advertising it on an open forum My daddy tought me better. I do have two ‘vanity’ plates, one on my truck and one on my bike. Both are hobby related. Sorry, no pics…
I like the looks of the Nebraska one but shouldn’t it be going through corn fields?
That’s a freshly picked corn field!
Oh I am from a wheat state and it looks like a freshly cut wheat field. I expected corn stocks.
I believe Pennsylvania also has a train plate.
Nebraska raises wheat also soybeans,milo,popcorn(most in the world). Also has the most beef on feed anymore I think. Old plates used to say ‘Beef State’ on them, some are trying to get that back.
Over here in yUK I guess that you could have LMS, GWR, GER, and GCR - all from the pre-nationalisation of the railways in 1947/8, but TBH, I’ve never seen one like that.
It would have to conform to the national vehicle licensing acts, and might, for instance, look like LMS 123A, or GWR 123. On mainland UK there are no letter ‘I’ or ‘Z’. ‘Q’ is only used for post-dated manufactured vehicles like kit cars, or an import. Northern Ireland uses two or three letters, including ‘I’ or ‘Z’, but not ‘Q’, followed by four numbers. All lettering has to conform to the gubmint style, as does the spacing, although there are many drivers who have ‘spaced’ out’ the letters and numbers to look like something else. Many use plate hold-on bolts or screws to part-conceal a section of the letters, like my shooting pal Steve, who has B1FLE, and uses a screw-head at the bottom of the letter ‘B’ so that it looks like R1FLE. The DVLA also sells off number plates every year that were on vehicles that have been scrapped, and you can have anything that is for sale. Anything with ‘BMW’ is popular with, uh, BMW-owners, and if you can afford the car that it goes on, 250GTO is pretty spiffy - a cool million will get you that…

Mass doesn’t have a train plate but I see a lot of vanity plates like GP38 or DASH8 - never understood paying extra for a plate guess that’s why they call it a vanity plate.
In NH I see more vanity plates than regular plates. They even add + or - to them to let people get what they want if someone else already has it.
There RMV must be a lot friendlier than the Mass DOT

Dan we did, but I read somewhere that the plate was discontinued.
Train plates are nice but I prefer to get my military plate because all fees are free for the vehicle. Free is good. Later RJD
they keep getting better I like that PA one.
My PA RR Heritage is RR 48E8.
I missed by 1 number 49 which is the year E8s were introduced! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-frown.gif)
I tried a couple times to get TARDIS, but Illinois always said “Profanity not allowed.”
