"PRC" emblem on BN-1 and BN-2 at Illinois Railway Museum
Author: CedarRapids

During a visit to IRM last September, I photographed the above-noted F9s and noted a "PRC" emblem on them.  What does PRC stand for in this case?  

I did some searching but could not find anything definitive.  There was a posting from May 4, 2022 asking the same question, but the responses were not useful.  

Thanks,

Elizabeth

Doing a search on the Burlington Northern Railroad FB page it looks like its stands for "Presidential Rail Coach" It was named by Mrs Grinstein and this was per a member who worked at the West Burlington shop and was involved with the executive units
