Railroadiana Consignment - Rail & Road Auctions

Our passion for all things transportation starts with Railroadiana.

While trains may still roll along the track in the United States, the aesthetics of trains’ golden age is gone from the world and quickly fading from memory. It’s essential to keep the memory of this crucial period in American history alive by keeping its collectible pieces in circulation. That’s part of our mission here at Rail & Road Auctions.

As the only auctioneers in the Midwest that specialize in Railroadiana, we are excited to receive inquiries about:

Full Sized Railroad Equipment
Signals
Lanterns
Signs
China
Keys
Locks
Passes
Timetables
Paper
Builders Plates
Locomotive Hardware and More

Examples of Railroadiana that Rail & Road has sold for our consignors.

Since opening our doors in 2019, we have gone from an upstart in our garage to the largest volume railroadina auction house in the United States.

We can and will travel outside of the Midwest to pack and relocate your collection to our 5,500 square foot Lafayette Indiana warehouse where it will be expertly cataloged and photographed. We auction to a national and international audience using multiple bidding platforms to expand our reach around the world.

Below the consignment form on this page, you’ll see some of our highlighted and record price setting lots from past sales.

If you’re curious whether your collection or individual piece is something others may be interested in, contact us. You’ll find us easy to talk to and see that our passion for railroads and transportation is unmatched. We invite you to come learn more about why Rail & Road is quickly becoming a market leader in the sale of quality Railroad memorabilia.

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.
