Ask HN: What would you do with a 130 ton locomotive?

Caltrain (rail service provider for the San Francisco Peninsula) is selling their old 135 ton gasoline locomotives: https://ift.tt/3AxOZPM According to the website, the engine is disabled and you have to pick them up yourself. I was wondering what you colud do with one of those beasts and why they are selling them. What would you buy one for? A fancy restaurant / cafe perhaps? This of course supposing that the pavement could handle such weight.
