Well its not a mathematical sequence that I can find.

I doubt that it appears in OEIS.

[EbbwJunction1]

I doubt that it appears in OEIS.

I didn't think to check OEIS!

I don't have any idea. I was thinking about locomotive, plane and ship classes, but there isn't anything that fits all of them in each number ... at least, I think so!

 

[DaleCooper]

Hint:
