@nsbob beat me to it but I typed this already so hey 

Parts for Wind turbines, the larger parts are the head containing the turbine and the smaller parts are what the blades attach to.

Stunned... well, maybe not, but surprised... that there is still stuff running around in WC paint. It was on the local, my guess being assigned here awaiting its turn in the paint shop.

More likely its turn to be scrapped... besides 3010 as far as I know none of the WC GP40's got black and red...

Fun Fact, The 3000's are mostly ex Western Pacific Units! but 3018 appeared to be ex B&O put together from spares lol

Interesting. We'll see. CN's paint shops are in our city, with little other reason for it to be here. We don't have a dead line, and I haven't yet seen any indications of CN having a relationship with the local breaker yard, National Railway Equipment. That photo was on its way back from running a transfer cut to the BNSF (the NRE connection), so if it wasn't dropped off with the transfer it must be sticking around.
