Sell it for scrap and use the money to travel.

130 tons is a hefty millstone indeed.

It's around $10,000 as scrap, assuming the scrap price for a car/truck.
If I am reading these numbers correctly, one recycling page is claiming that car scrap is worth $100-$200/ton. So I am not sure you are coming out ahead, even if train scrap commands a premium vs cars.
The question was about what I would do with a 130 ton locomotive.

Would I avoid having to deal with a 130 ton locomotive is a different question.

My comment suggests my answer to that question, I hope.
