There was not any need to put PRR on the equipment going to NS as they inherited the CR reporting mark but there was some stuff that got the PRR mark most noticeable were some locomotives

In order to avoid duplicate reporting markings with the Association of American Railroads (AAR) reporting system, it was agreed that CSX would add PRR to the unique number of the equipment they acquired.  NS would not add anything to the equipment they acquired in the division of Conrail equipment they received in the purchase.

They use to go further and have metal plates attached to the locomotives and other equipment which identified the entity, normally a bank, that had financed the purchase.
