CSX Number Font

Does anyone now the font used for the numbering on CSX's locos? I'm trying to give the Miami Dash 8 bold numbers, because IMO they're too thin.

That was quite the quick reply, thanks Harry! *!!thnx!!*

That was very close to the one I was looking for, specifically the ones on the side of their locos:

Alternates if you don't like to use this provider:

Numberboards, side numbers: Helvetica, Coolvetica, even Arial with some PS modification.

Main Logos: Lubalin Graph Bold. Some modification of the verticals are needed to make the font a little "fatter". Rockwell will also do, but with more modding.
