If the equipment is not interchanged then it does not matter. You can paint whatever you want on a piece of equipment that is to stay on home rails. If a piece of equipment is to be interchanged for any reason it has to meet FRA regulations including the correct reporting marks, tho I have seen instances where that was not followed. After the CR split I had units in my consist that had PRR, PRRx, NS, and CR reporting marks, but all were painted CR and owned by NS. Oakway SD60s were EMD, EMDX, or OWY.
