As a youngster I visited Roanoke station many times during summer vacations between 1959-1968. I remember seeing green Southern engines which later became black and I definitely got some cab rides in the E-8a units when they would uncouple to add/remove head end cars. I do not remember any FP-7a units on my visits.
