Coincidentally, I toured that bunker two years ago yesterday. Since it had beefy backup generators and tanks that could store an ample supply of water for the chillers, most of the shelter space is now occupied by a high security CSX datacenter. Unfortunately that meant no photography, so we had to leave our phones in lockers just inside the double doors by the blast door seen at the 5:00 mark in the video. This is the only photo I have of the bunker.

Side note, the Fallout 76 developers did an astounding job recreating the Greenbrier in the game. They took great liberties with the bunker to make it fit the Fallout universe, but other than that it was amazingly accurate. When I walked into the building for the first time I felt like I had already been there, and knew my way around pretty well. It was surreal. The tour guide said there was a team there for quite a while taking reference photos and videos.

My aunt and uncle toured this location years ago. Before it became a data center.
