and it looks like it's a privately owned outfit in California. Ex NJT F40PH-2CAT #4129 was sent there back in 2016.
That outfit is known as DieselMotive of Stockton, CA. They are a startup rebuilder that apparently claims they can rebuild 645-based passenger locomotives into Tier 4 compliant locomotives.
They purchased a handful of NJ Transit F40s in the last few years: 4114, 4121, 4122, 4127, 4129. All of which left NJ Transit property with BUGX reporting marks.
