Just a guess, but I’m slightly familiar with these machines … my dad worked for Ring Screw Works in Detroit. He took me there a few times to see where he worked. They had a bunch of cold-headers, including several very large machines. These beasts were buried in pits in the floor, and each time they’d strike they'd shake the whole neighborhood. Literally!

Good guess! That could be it.

Could be frames for cold-heading (forging) machines.

Found another photo of a GSC HD flat car, with an outbound load at Mesta Machine 1959:

Any idea who the load was for? They look like bodies for HD shears.

Thanks!
