A relative works at the Amtrak Repair Shop in Rensselaer and I was fortunate to get an inside look at the operations.

Approaching the shop, you get a nice view of Albany across the river |
The repair facilities are just north of the Albany-Rensselaer station
There's a wye at the north end to turn trains around as needed
Street view...
Inside...
Full trains are moved in and inspected/worked on as a unit.
Locomotives in need of repair reside on a different set of tracks

This is the hook that is clamped on when raised by the overhead crane |

Under the train (this was a thrill!) |

In the cab |

This is the bit used to cut (smooth) a wheel |
