You travel back in time to a year between 1953 and 1840, and you approach a large locomotive works such as Vulcan, Baldwin, Lima or ALCo. You meet with the head of their sales department and they'll determine what locomotive would best fit your needs for the railroad you'd want it to operate on. You pay the man the appropriate amount, usually between $500,000 and $3.5 million in 2011 USD, and wait a few weeks as your locomotive is constructed by skilled machinists. If it's not standard gauge it'll have to be loaded onto a flatcar and shipped to the nearest railroad to your own.
