Answer: lots of relays (and other stuff). Some tech must have left this cabinet open on the RER B. It was fun listening to their clicking and clacking as the train pulled up to and away from platforms. Seen on the way to pick my parents up at the airport this morning. Showing them Paris for the next few days so I probably won't be on much.

Wow, it's all point to point. I bet repairs are super easy.

A lot of industrial control stuff, especially in systems that have been around for a while and don't need to change, still is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
