The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) recently completed its first-ever online auction, providing public transit fans with their own piece of CTA history in time for the holidays.

During the week-long event, customers placed 1,737 bids totaling more than $34,000 on 117 items, including two vintage 2200-series railcars. The auction generated 36,000 page views on the auction website hosted by firm Rick Levin Associates Inc.

“The CTA is pleased with the outcome of our first auction of bus and rail memorabilia and to be able to offer collectibles to our customers and fans,” said CTA President Forrest Claypool.

The vintage railcars received 59 bids, with top bids of $13,150 and $10,000—well above the $4,000 each car would have fetched as scrap. The CTA retired the 2200-series, built between 1969 and 1971, from its fleet earlier this year.

Other popular items included a bus shelter and railway crossing that each sold for $400, a farebox machine for $360, a rail conductor seat for $310, and a bus stop sign for $250.
