According to rrpicturearchives.net site, it was PC 7788:

That page also lists the frame, order, and serial numbers. Can't vouch 
that they're 100% accurate, but it makes sense.

I looked up the serial number 35417 on the EMD Loco web site on 
trainweb.org, and it shows it going from CR to Chicago Missouri & 
Western (who painted almost none of their power) to Gateway Western to 
Helm to Ottawa Valley Rail Link and back to Helm before apparently going 
to WATCO:

The engineer's side seems to have more PC lettering coming through than 
the fireman's side.

Anybody know anyone at WATCO? Maybe we could convince them to clean up 
the PC lettering or repaint it PC...
