Interesting video showing a gripman at work.  Looks like it requires quite a bit of finesse.

 

 

More, view from car and at powerhouse.

They are a wonder to watch in operation! Always amazes me how well such a mechanical system works so beautifully! Always loved the wooden track brakes as well.
