LIRR SW1001 #100

gqr.gif (15708 bytes)The correct typeface for LIRR graphic elements such a station signage and rolling stock lettering is Helvetica Bold, or Helvetica 75 Bold, or Helvetica Neue Bold (they're all basically the same; even the most finicky of graphic designers probably couldn't tell which is which just by looking at them).

That's the official standard. Out in the real world, it's not that neat. For example, the M7s appear to use something heavier than 75 but lighter than 95 (Black).
