For sale by Caltrans: Caltrain EMD F40PH-2 Locomotive (Used)
This is not a salespitch on my part!
https://www.caltrainstore.com/special-items/p/caltrain-emd-f40ph-2-locomotive-used
Own a piece of Caltrain history!
These gently used, lovingly maintained 1985 F40 diesel locomotives could be yours. The historic locomotives come with 40 years of service, and more than 1,000,000 miles travelled. Perfect for your model trainset, train-themed diners, ornamental lawn decor or planter box, unconventional bed n breakfast, or just to show up your overly gnomed neighbor’s lawn.
DETAILS: The used Caltrain EMD F40PH-2 Locomotives will be available for sale around October 2024. Locomotive engine must be disabled per a state grant funding agreement. Buyer is responsible for the costs of storage and transport following the sale as part of an Invitation for Bids (IFP) procurement process. Directors, employees, and their families/agents cannot purchase the trains and the purchaser will be required to indemnify Caltrain/SamTrans against any loss/liability that arises from use after disposition.

I'm going to trust that this is for real, though that's a gamble these days.
