That looks scary.
Do you know what any of those machines did?
Probably a gas or steam turbine.The plant likely generated it's own electricity.
looks a bit like a birthday cake for the Iron Giant:)
A reciprocating engine. Perhaps torn down for spares in the last days as the plant was gasping it's last breath.

An interesting note about the power grids in the old steel towns. They were built up to sell the massive power needed to the mills. Now the infrastructure is way more than needed and costs a fortune to maintain.
...or a gargantuan bobbin threader.
