Looks to me like a slightly "extended" Railroad Roman. Does that make it a different font?

 Not to disagree with you Jim, but Norfolk and Western lettering, as used on the freight cars and cabooses is pretty dramatically different from "Railroad Roman"

The attached sample is from Norfolk and Western caboose lettering drawing that I have drawn, and railroad roman font on the bottom.
