Fairmont M9-F-1 -- Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha Ry. 1945

 


 This car was purchased in the winter of 1993 by Nathan Harris.   The car was purchased from Connell's Junk Yard in Eau Claire, WI where it had sat in storage since purchased from the railroad at an Altoona, WI auction in the early 80's.   The car was in running condition and looked as if it just came off the railroad complete with manuals, spare parts, and Fairmont tools. The car is equipped with a ROB engine.  The car has since went through a complete overhaul and was back on the rails in 1994 when it ran at Eau Claire, WI.
