JS 8162, the Factory 701 shunter, puts on a show for us
The Secret Facility
Into the gloom
Another runby
The view from the hill as the line mysteriously zig-zags up to the tunnel complex. Two QJs stored at left
Train nerds in action. Or is that 'inaction'. Note rare use of human tripod at left 
Shuffling the third QJ around. Sad to see these beasts languishing so...
Everyone pauses for breath after the excitement of seeing a QJ turning a wheel
8162 enters the surreal tunnel complex
The main lifting hall in the upper tunnel
Lathes in a perpendicular tunnel. This is probably what the bowels of the Death Star look like too
Turning wheel centers
In the upper tunnel
About to head out into the far side of the complex
...which is basically countryside
View from the fun end of 8162
After running down a steep grade, the JS backs into the lower tunnel
The view coming out of the lower tunnel
Cold QJ footplate
Will she run again?
