I am looking for diesel engine pistons and old train parts. Perferby from a dismanterler or salvage yard. Like a pick and pull for trains. I am on the West Coast. Yes I have checked e-bay.

It's a long shot, but try to get to a heavy maintenance facility or running maintenance facility, where cylinders are routinely swapped out.
Not a great way to go, but its the best I can think of. Failing that, contact a manufacturer, GE, EMD, etc., and see if they can point you in the right direction. RR representatives may be a helpful option as well.
I don't like your chances. These are high quality steel and therefore worth some major $$$$, so I am willing to bet that they are recycled.
The only rail scrapper I am aware of is Jim Dobbas Co., located (if still there) in Antelope, Ca.
Good luck and happy hunting.

If you were on the east coast you would be in luck, there is a large locomotive scrap yard located in Georgia. I have been by there before, there must have been 50 locomotives lined up to be disassembled... I would imagine there is one on the west coast as well.
