CSRMbirthday anon, I hope I'm not stepping on your toes by posting my shit.
Here's my UP collection. The plate that started my entire search and purchasing "craze" for railroad china is in the back left. I found it one day at an antique store with my ex-gf for $20 and jewed her down to $15. This is Union Pacific's most common and last iteration of china they had manufactured for them. Called the 'Streamliner' pattern, you can see they modelled the train in the center after the UP M-10003-M-10006 trainsets from 1936. They still made it into the early 80s for their business train, so it's by far the most common which is why I found it in BFE of Texas' hat. In fact I think all but 1 piece I found in the wild, not on feebay. A lot of my collection is "well worn". I like to find those so that I can use them daily. The coffee cup and saucer is on my every-other-day morning coffee cup rotation.
