CSX didn't renumber locos until Merger Day, so none were lettered NYC.  I've
several photos of ex CR hoppers at Cresson last October with PRR decals.  Over
a 3 or 4 day span we probably saw 400-500 hoppers.  About 1/3 PRR, maybe 1/4
NYC and the balance was still CR.  I beleive I have photos of PRR gons, but
most were either NYC decaled or still CR.  Not that CR boxcars are common, but
I can't remember seeing any with PRR decals.  Most of the LO's were CR or NYC,
although I did see a ex PC car with with Conrail red fading off that had been
freshly PRR'd

Hope this helps a bit.
