It's not a Bunn Special,but a 19 jewel Bunn.You've correctly identified this dial as belonging to a railroad watch but I still need the name of this style of dial.

This type of watch dial was originally developed for the Santa Fe Railroad by its chief watch and clock inspector in the early 20th century.

Hi Scifan, is the dial called a 24 hour Bunn special series gothic railroad dial?

No,that's not the name of the dial.This dial is from a regular Bunn railroad watch,not a Bunn Special.
This style of watch dial was named after the Santa Fe Railroad watch and clock inspector who invented it in the early 20th century.

OK, too much detail from a lay googler. Is it a 24 hour gothic Illinois dial? Also, is it a Montgomery design dial?

You just solved the challenge,it's a Montgomery dial.
Here is a photo of the watch with the crystal screwed on.





Your turn to post a challenge,Richard.

It's not stained glass, and it isn't a lampshade. The photograph is sharp enough and clear enough for my second question to be answered.
