And she was OK with that??
Deggesty I have no idea, but I do know that it is not Dingbats. Who would use such a font?

I have an entire cabinet in my letterpress print shop full of dashes, typecuts, and yes, dingbats.
I use some of the characters in the dingbat fonts for things like checkboxes when I'm creating forms.

Before she ever met me, she wanted to have her wedding at the Georgia State Railroad Museum, which is a pretty popular venue in Savannah. I made an offhand comment that we could refer to table 1, table 2, etc. as track 1, track 2, etc. and it sort of went from there.

Methinks You got a good lady.
Just for the heck of it, I stumbled upon the following, and remembered this thread:
An official Amtrak Livery and Logo guide. (note: will auto download a PDF to your computer)
And a place called "WhatFontIs", claiming to have a collection of over 600,000 fonts, which if you upload a graphic of the font you are trying to match, they will offer a few of the closest matches for you to choose from.

Just about any railroads standard plan book has a sheet that specifically addresses that railroad's own font, logo, lettering and style. How rigid those standards are becomes a function of how OCD corporate leadership and their marketing bubbas are in "protecting the brand".

...and lawyers telling them what to do to keep the corporate image from leaking out into the public domain.
Two quickies. The Q in the Conrail Quality logo does not match that in the corporate "alphabet". Lots and lots of handwringing and lawyers etc, before they decided it was okay to use.
The first NS DC to AC conversion (blue hedgehog) had a blue horse logo from the paint shop. The corporate folk went into a tizzy. The horse can only be black or white. Photos withdrawn. Loco back into the paint shop. I have a clandestine copy around here somewhere.

The Santa Fe "Quality" logo got to looking too much like Quaker Oats corporate logo. Logo withdrawn, but not before it got loose in the car shops. Gotta smile every time one appears on the upper corner of a covered hopper or boxcar, albeit faded.
And then there was the "No Wimps" safety campaign.
