Ever wanted to own a CTA rail car? Now’s your chance — but you’ll have to leave Chicago.

Decommissioned CTA rail cars for sale on Facebook Marketplace in West Virginia. The seller said he bought them at a military training facility after they were used in disaster training.Ain Charleston, West Virginia, has listed two 1970s CTA rail cars for sale. Asking price: $35,000 each.

The rail cars in the listing are from the CTA’s 2400-series, manufactured by the Boeing Co. in the 1970s. Those "L" cars had curved sides, contoured fiberglass front ends and stainless steel bodies with large windows. CTA spokesperson Maddie Kilgannon said the transit agency uses an outside vendor to sell off decommissioned property like rail cars or other items.

Since the cars were first put into service, CTA trains have undergone some changes, and in 2014, the 2400-series cars were decommissioned.
