See this picture of a broken crankshaft:

I put a standard letter sized document on top to show the scale of
this huge crankshaft.

Looks too heavy compared to the throw for an engine. Is it off some
kind of compressor or press? Looks like it hasn't been out of service
long, not that rusty.

That was my reaction, too. Those big engines typically have a long
stroke. This looks more like the crank for a mechanical press.
