The Wiki says for the MDPL-13 power station, in part:
If the plant is accessed via the garage door, there will be several lockers and one locked personal footlocker. The door beside the lockers leads you to the large room with the three chimneys. The power substation has ahttp://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Workbench with ingredients required for a http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Nuka-grenade_(Fallout_3) lying around, as well as a http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Bottlecap_mine_(Fallout_3). Also on the workbench are a set of http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Schematics_-_railway_rifle.
I have been around those chimney bases a number of times and can find no workbench, and there's no door in the wall or on the floor that might lead me to the bench.
Someone? Anyone? I really love those Railway Rifle schematics. Most fun gun in the game (that I've discovered).
