Hide a GPS spoofer (illegal) at a central train station to make all trains believe they are at the forbidden workshop location and make them brick themselves? Could it be that easy?

Is there such thing as GPS spoofer? I would guess only JAMMER is possible.

Yes[1], and is a regular occurrence.[2] It was also the method by which Iran stole a US drone.[3]

You can buy this bad boy and hook it up to a software defined radio and it will spoof away!

GPS C/A signals are pretty straightforward to generate and not authenticated.

You can spoof GPS. It just needs be in the sky, and JAM at the same time. In theory it is possible?

[BobaFloutist]

I would imagine it only works while trying to service the train (or at least while the train thinks it's being serviced).

[LorenPechtel]

It only bricks if they're there 10 days.

Hide a spoofer on the train itself, this way you can target any train anywhere
