Has it been repainted into some version of former B&O colors?

Didn't it move on from there?  I thought this was the same unit that was later repainted into Clinchfield colors, pretty sure it ended up in Tennessee.

Potomac Eagle website indicates they currently have two A units on the roster.  An F7 painted B&O blue/gray is a former Bessemer & Lake Erie unit and an FP-9 that came from Canadian National.

Not anymore. It is now Clinchfield 800 at the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum in Oak Ridge, TN.
