To say my experience with Rail & Road Auctions was expectational is an understatement.  The level of genuine interest and concern for the sale of my items far and away exceeded my expectations.  Derek took great pride in finding my pieces a good home while also maximizing their sale price.  Derek operators with honestly and integrity and I look forward to future business with Derek and his team at Rail & Road Auctions.
