Cars can enter the carbarn along the right side and travel around the back through the "turnaround," which is a U-turn of the track that leads through the car wash.

Passengers boarding old 163 after the tour of the car barn. Note the rope in the front which the conductor uses to pull the power wheel down off one cable and onto an adjoining cable when reversing direction.
The end of the line for Birney 163, the station just beyond Centennial Park.
