FP7 getting repainted into Louisville & Nashville colors at the Tennessee Central RR Museum. Anyone know the previous owners of this one?

Actually it looks to be just a plain F7. I think it is one of their ex B&LE F7s that the museum owns. I think they own 2 A units and 2 B units.

BTW, the L&N did own FP7s, and they were the only F units painted in the blue and cream passenger paint scheme. The freight-only units were delivered in the black and creme scheme. The paint scheme was time intensive, and evidently didn't hold up well. In the mid 1950s, the L&N went for an all black or all blue paint scheme, until the gray and yellow paint of the 1960s.
