Here.

I'm going to apologize ahead of time for any inaccuracies in the captions; PM me and I'll try to fix them quickly.

Essentially, we walked through the different shops (electrical, truck, and car) and went into the control tower. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pics there.

Due to the time constraint of the tour (two hours), we were a little rushed. The most interesting part of all this was watching some workers assemble a wheelset (axle + wheel), since the equipment itself was obsolete and had to be built manually in the truck shop.

I was going to ask you if someone I know was there, and lo-and-behold, you've got a picture of him standing in front of a PATH car. :)
