Check "NS locomotives" on Facebook. There have been photos posted for several days of the repainted FTB unit leaving Chattanooga for Spencer, where it has been reunited with the A.. 
At the time, I didn't know about the deal with St. Louis, but now it all makes sense.

​This is wonderful news and too long in coming. I guess the folks in St. Louis finally decided that NS could safely and carefully move the Y without damaging it. 

As to the FTB, what state is it in? There is one picture on the VMT website, but it is a tight view looking down the flank of the unit. It is difficult to tell what the paint scheme is, let alone the condition. Is, perhaps, there going to be a stop in Tennessee at the NS paint shop for some touch-up work, as was done on the Wabash unit?
