Are these decals or stickers? I thought you said they were self adhesive. I
haven't found a source of printable decal paper.

I think UP uses a special font. J2 has sourced a set of RR fonts and I could
swear that UP's font is included in it. They aren't free, though. I think he
may have posted the URL for it at some time in the past.
Have you checked UP's own site?
this URL may be of some help, although it deals with logos rather than fonts.
http://www.uprr.com/aboutup/history/uplogo/
and in particular these two sections
http://www.uprr.com/aboutup/history/uplogo/logo07.shtml
and
http://www.uprr.com/aboutup/history/uplogo/logo08.shtml
as they are from the appropriate era.
(rummages) aha! ... see this page

I believe that Benn Coifman and the "railfonts site" referred to are where
J2 got his font collection.
