Re: (erielack) CR/PRR merger decals

Okay Guys (and any ladies on the list)

NS renumbered the CR locos they got as PRR to differentiate those that
were staying with CSX which is now putting those HIDEOUS orange numbers on
the sides of their former CR locos.  

NO locos were relettered NYC as anything that was not relettered PRR was
going to CSX.

On cars....all CR cars going to CSX got NYC reporting marks regardless of
it's actual heritage......and that did not get NYC were going to NS..any
CAR not changed was going to NS.  Any car STILL running around in CR or
ANY of the predecessor roads belongs to NS as they got the rights to the
marks.  This was all hashed out on the CR list around the time of the
merger.

Hope this clears things up a bit...
