The Harmon Open House has displays which you can browse through. There is also an excursion, (usually), which leaves the yard periodically and goes to Pkskl I think and right back.
Occasionally they may have the wreck crew knock over and demonstrate righting a boxcar on the rails.
There are various other displays as well - the MTA Police usually have a display for kids as well as some sort of Operation Lifesaver literature.
