Sitting trackside in Lyons, NY with my boys train watching September 30th - tons of traffic, saw 4 trains inside 25 minutes. One of them came through quite slow, with several HD flats and regular flats with very interesting cargo in tow. No idea what it is, but sure would be cool to model.

Those are wind turbine parts! The big white boxes are the nacelles (contol boxes) and the gum drop looking things are the hubs for the rotors. Here you can see the assembly of a wind turbine:

You'll notice the parts being lifted into place. They appear to be GE 1.5MW turbines, shown here:

Scroll down to see the two parts in an assembly. You got a great shot of GE power (locomotive) sitting next to GE power! I would have LOVED to see this in person. As you know, I have the module of the rolling hills with wind turbines. As a mechanical engineer, I find these turbines quite cool! :-) (Not to mention that I am a big fan of GE.)
