Can a company buy a train from a sister company even when a cheaper train is in the bank or pool?
The rulebook notes allow the purchase; the sister-company dump label comes from players.

Yes. The rulebook says a company may buy from another railroad even if that train costs more than one in the pool, and the cheapest-train requirement does not apply to such purchases. The price is any agreed amount, but no more than face value if the president adds personal cash. Players call moving cash this way a three-company dump.
