Does anyone out there know if the Fairmont files are in archive somewhere? We have acquired a railbus that everybody thinks was built by Fairmont and we are attempting to find a paper trail of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Later!

Ed,

You can call this number;

507-235-7376

Its the parts phone number for Fairmont Harsco. If you have a serial number on the engine or elsewhere they should be able to trace it. Currently Fairmont Harsco does keep all their records but a recent announcement that the Fairmont, MN plant is closing will require relocation of those records.

I have traced a handful of speeders this way and the staff at Fairmont Harsco is very helpful.

Chris

Thanks Chris. I'll give them a call today.

Later!
Mr. Ed

I have been told by a person that did some research there that many of the Fairmont files were donated to the :
Martin County Historical Society
304 East Blue Earth Avenue
Fairmont, MN 56031
Phone: 507-235-5178
Email: mch@frontiernet.net

Sincerely,
Mike Nix

Thanks Mike.

Later!
Mr. Ed
