The Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad finished painting their F-unit into B&O scheme this past week. It was painted for the upcoming 100 year celebration of the ex-B&O line known as the South Branch Valley on June 25-27, 2010. http://www.wvrails2010.com

I love the navy blue, yellow, and gray/tan paint scheme.

Nope, that's a different F. Check the following photo swiped from the the WVRails website:

8016 is a former CSX(nee-Clinchfield) "Executive" F, leased to the Potomac Eagle by the C&OHS. 722 is ex-B&LE, and owned by Eagle Canyon Rail, along with an ex-B&O GP-7.

Will any of the F units or Geeps be operating on any of the trips during the weekend?

Did the B&O have those reflective front numberboards on their F units or only the E units?
