[Another photo by Michael on Google Maps confirms that this was taken from the window of an Amtrak Domeliner.]

This was obviously taken from inside the diesel shop. I presume that is a spare alternator.

I'm saving the topo maps to record how the course of the river has changed.

Esteban Martinez posted two photos with the question: "Ok this isn’t fascinating but… can anyone tell me what this is? It’s in the diesel service area in Havre, MT."
Jamie Haislip: Roof access possible, at Amtrak they have platforms for cleaning and servicing windshields on the Acela. Changing wiper blades and scrubbing the bugs off the windshield.
Al Chiappetta: Jamie Haislip looks the right height for that in the second picture. Notice the side windows on that loco.
