Well, you did ask why it was PRR, and I answered that query. As to why they did that with the name, I have no idea. I suspect it was because PR didn't have the ring they wanted, to the added the extra R.

"I suspect it was because PR didn't have the ring they wanted, to the added the extra R."

Actually, this was the only realistic answer I could come up with myself. Like I said, I know nothing about the company other than that famous 'PRR' so for all I knew there was a long passed around story of how it occured that I wasn't aware of.
I wonder if someone earned themself a promotion or a nice raise for the idea. Those two hard 'r's in the word certainly standout, no doubt about it and I know of at least one other logo that uses that same logic although its not coming to mind right at this (senior) moment.
"Now we know the rest of the story ..."

Thanks for replying.
