Jimmy is correct. PRR signal aspects are similar in appearance to some N&W aspects, but that is where the similarity ends. The N&W had different rules for their aspects and how they apply. 

Older N&W rules had two horizontal yellows over a single marker. That was replaced later with a single horizontal over a marker light with the letter "S" attached to the interlocking number board on the signal.  That is just one example of MANY differences. 

It gets complicated, and it would take a great deal of time to explain some of the signal subjects that have been brought up lately. That's why I haven't chimed in on them. 

Maybe I should write a book...

Whoa there Lynn. The PRR signals are very different than the N&W signals of similar style.
