Railhead

Some words from FontMesa:

Railhead is a revival of an 1870s type style that was originally available from both Bruce’s New York and James Conner’s Sons type foundries.

The Redux version is the original design but only the uppercase and punctuation were ever created the rest of this font design including numbers, accented characters and lowercase are of my own design.

Looking at the original font the inside rails reminded me of a railroad so I created a new version by adding horizontal lines in the lower portion of each letter which resemble railroad ties and Railhead seemed to be the most logical name for this old revival.
