Public Auction Opportunity

There is a  public auction currently underway that includes a range of railway-related materials which may be of interest to members of the heritage rail community.

The items are not grouped together in one section. They are dispersed throughout the full auction listing alongside many unrelated items.

Click on the “VIEW CATALOGUE” link on the auction site, and then use the search function to locate rail-related materials.

Because items are distributed throughout the listing, broader browsing may also be worthwhile.

The auction closes Monday, February 23 at 6:00 PM Eastern.

We are sharing this for awareness only. All inquiries and bidding are handled directly through the auction provider.
