Rupert, no, not that I am aware of. I acquired the Fairmont photos some time ago through a friend. I
don’t know where he got them. I believe a Fairmont Employee began
scanning them after Harsco took over. Harsco began moving stuff to South Carolina.
Employees I met at the Fairmont HQ in Fairmont MN were very protective of their Fairmont heritage. I have seen the original
photos. Many of them are 8x10. They were removed from the HQ and are now
available in large scrapbook style photo albums at the Martin County Historical
Society in Fairmont MN. http://fairmont.org/mchs/ they have a very small selection of
the photos online http://fairmont.org/mchs/railway.pdf I found folks at the Historical Society to
be very helpful, but they have a very small staff
