Hi Angelika, Unfortunately, is not particularly easy to download images from the browser in batch. First, you will need to construct a URL that will return the images you are interested in (these FAQs can help you get started: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQlink.html and http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQcustom.html#custom5). After you have constructed your URL, you can use wget to get the PNG image (further instructions here: https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2006-January/009607.html).
It is worth noting our conditions of use on our front page that states "Program-driven use of this software is limited to a maximum of one hit every 15 seconds and no more than 5,000 hits per day." I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to contact the mail list again if you require further assistance.

I guess it would be somehow possible to upload a custom track for each region and capture the image, but I am not sure what your server policy is on this.
