Actually, the EL C425's were in the 2450 series. The usual horsepower-based
number series was fudged a bit here, as the EL wanted to differentiate
between different classes of locomotives, and since the C425, GP35 and U25B
all had 2500 horsepower, only one builder got the "true" 2500 horsepower
series, and those were the U25B's. The GP35's were numbered in the
2550-series, and the C425's were in the 2450 series.

The C424's, by the way, were in the rather obvious 2400-series.
