    It's a generator rotor to a power plant. It's the rotating part that fits inside the stationary part that generates a magnetic field and creates electricity. They're usually pretty darn heavy (hence the need for the 12 axle flat car), since they're made up of a heavy steel forging and lots of copper wire windings.

      That's what my guess.was
      A turbine shaft for a power generator of some kind.👍

    That looks like a turbine for a generator for a power plant. It goes inside the steam pressure vessel and the steam spins it making electric ⚡⚡💡💡

    That could be a solid rocket booster for the heavy Air force cargo planes to give them supersonic speed.

    It’s not a turbine or generator rotor . Look at the ball ends . Its most likely the vertical shaft out of a rock crusher. . A turbine would be bigger at one end and a generator would be larger in the middle with both would be covered with more protection
