I love those, too, and have always been curious. I counted 39 segments, but searching for that yields little.

No luck so far. Some search terms that might help: alphanumeric display, vane display, destination sign, split dot display.

The lower case is kind of weird. I should have ridden more trains to try to get a more complete samplepic.twitter.com/2S3NZ7TOPt
