I toured a power plant near where I work, the Beluga Power Plant, owned by Chugach Electric. I toured the plant but really was only interested in the machine shop, here are some pictures of the machines, and a cool article that features some parts they machined at the plant, keep in mind this power plant is in the middle of nowhere, no road access, only boat, plane or snowmachine access. I didn't really find a good place to share this, move if needed.
heres a link to the article
the vertical boring machine is/was the largest in the state. all the machines have the original hand scraped finish, just beautiful, the one picture is of a rotor balancer, look at that fine pitch lead screw...
and a giant face mill on the universal mill.
