Rail & Road Auctions is proud to present Day 2 of our May 2026 Railroadiana Auction, selling on Friday, May 1, featuring another outstanding lineup of premier railroad collectibles led by Part 1 of the Wimmer Collection. This first offering from the Wimmer Collection includes a remarkable selection of larger on-site pieces located south of Omaha, Nebraska, all of which must be picked up on May 14, 15 or 16, 2026 . Headlining that group are an impressive restored Union Pacific two-man pump handcar, a highly original Fairbanks Morse wooden velocipede, a circa 1905 Canadian National Railway velocipede, a restored harp-style wigwag signal, and a restored Fairmont speeder, along with additional signals, maintenance equipment, and other substantial display pieces.

Collectors of Louisville & Nashville and Southern U.S. railroads will find much to like here as well, with especially strong representation in signs, locks, depot and station material, and other railroad antiques from the region. The session is further rounded out by a fine run of lanterns, tinware, and tall oilers, along with another deep offering from the Pullman and Budd engineering archives, which continue to produce fresh-to-the-market photography and reference material of great interest to passenger car and streamliner collectors. Day 2 Highlights Other featured lots include a Virginian Railway Safety First porcelain sign, a scarce Tennessee Central heart-shaped brass lock with key, a Louisville & Nashville depot train schedule board, and an exceptional Brass Fine Art Models New York Central Manhattan Island Gauge One observation car.
