Copyright issues with the model or the logo they need to paint on the side of the model? Or is it actually a licensing issue?

Amtrak wants all their employees to get a free copy of Pacific Surfliner first.

License I think.

Umm, thought Coaster was part of Amtrak. My bad.

It probably is part of Amtrak Chris. Most of those commuter services in CA are split between Amtrak and a local subsidizer.
I'm pretty sure that's what Metro Link is and the Surfliner.
Amtrak's Capitol Corridor trains are a partnership between Amtrak and the State of California.

Nope. Coaster and Metrolink are their own entities.

The COASTER is owned by the North County Transit District (NCTD) which is owned by the state of California. Transit America is under contract to run COASTER operations.

Metrolink is apparently owned by a consortium of cities and counties.
Surfliner is apparently Amtrak.

This came from Metrolink's own website.
"In September 2002, Metrolink and Amtrak introduced Rail 2 Rail® Program. As part of Rail 2 Rail®, Metrolink monthly pass holders may travel on most Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train or buses within the trip limits of their pass, at no additional charge. Travel does NOT include Coast Starlight trains."

More from Metrolink.

"History

Metrolink is governed by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), a joint powers authority that was formed in 1991 and comprises five county agencies that were tasked with reducing highway congestion and improving mobility throughout Southern California: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Orange County Transportation Authority, Riverside County Transportation Commission, San Bernardino Associated Governments and Ventura County Transportation Commission. SCRRA created Metrolink in October 1992 to fill a void in Southern California’s transportation infrastructure. Our organization has served as the link between six Southern California counties by providing commuters seamless transportation connectivity options. Metrolink has grown tremendously during our 20 years in service, expanding from three service lines, 11 stations and 2,300 daily boardings to seven service lines, 55 stations and 44,000 daily boardings, all over a 512 route-mile network.

Amtrak, one of our major contractors, supplies the train and engine crews who operate our trains. Amtrak was a Metrolink contractor since our 1992 inception until 2005 when we awarded a contract to Connex."

As my mother would say "you're both wrong... and right."

There are already Achievements for it in Steam...

[UPSD70ACe]

How do I find them?

On the Steam client interface, you should have a list of Achievements on the Library page, under the Play button:

Then you click "View All Achievements" and they're toward the bottom of the list:
