Would anybody know which version of Conrail the 7049 was painted in?

Cant find a pic on-line..checked all the usual places..

but the odds are good that she wore the standard GP9 scheme, with the small logo..
I found a few pics of sister units in the 7000 series:

nearly all the GP7,8,9,10 wore that scheme..
at least one picture has come to light of a GP7,8,9,10 (I dont remember which!) wearing the Big logo, but I think thats a very rare fluke..maybe even just one unit!

So I would give 99% odds she was painted just like the engines in the links above.

any new plans for her?
is she still at Larrys?

What is the actual location of the area in the photo linked above? I've looked all over McDonald, Ohio with Google Earth and can't find it. Could someone give me a better idea of where to search?
