The first Ohio Central unit in G&W paint?

Received the following via email from Kermit Geary, Jr. Text, photo, and captions are his.

Notes:
  • The Ohio Central was bought by the Genesee & Wyoming Railroad (G&W) in 2008. Their locomotives are orange with two black stripes, as shown in these photos. Logos are different though.

(Number is stamped in the metal frame which is painted yellow. It is difficult to see. Enlarge the picture and look for shadows. I think it is 2525-4, but I'm not sure.)
