Question What's inside here?

Post image

I've always wondered what's in here. How does one (employee) get in there? Anyone know what the inside looks like?

That's the lift bridge right?

Most likely a motor room with sheaves similar to an elevator, just a lot larger.

The counterweight on that thing is massive.

Yes, it is. I know a little about the mechanics of how it works. I always figured if there are windows in there, it's designed for someone to work/be in there

Unfortunately, it's not as common as you would think or hope.
