Railroad Ceramic Dishes

I couldn't seem to find similar listings of these type of dishes. Are these worth something? Rare? Thank you.

Says "The American Rails - © michael leson dinnerware U.S.A. # A" on bottom of Santa Fe Super Chief Cup.

Union Pacific Railroad - The American Rails - MLD Group Inc. U.S.A. on the Union Pacific cup.

And it says similar things on the bottom of the plates. I have a set of different plates, smaller bowls, cups relating to the Railroad. I tried searching for these on eBay, but came up empty handed.

Couldn't find them from the logo either.  Can you please post a picture of the underside marks? 

Wonder if these are decorative reproduction?!

valhom, highly collectible Railroad china is as scares as "hen's teeth".

The following are pictures of the only piece of RR china I ever had the chance to buy. And I bought it at auction and it cost me dearly. I was determined to have it because my Dad retired from the B&O RR..

I would call it "collectible fantasy ware". I'm sure it still has value, but far less than original RR china.

Okay, thank you.

Thanks Rauville!

Love the cup Cogar!  Great sentiment attached to that and $$ value!

I agree about the cost of original railroad dinnerware being very expensive and few/far between.

There were many different patterns !! There is a sugar bowl similar to the cup but different color above !!
