Turbomachinery removed from the station and left to rust in 2007. On the left is a turbine casing (high-pressure and intermediate-pressure?), a section of turbine (double-flow low-pressure) behind it in the middle, and to the right is a rotor (a.k.a. field) from one of the generators. Some indication of the power generated by the turbines can be seen in the size of the power shaft.
