You can pull the crank for the trolley, then follow the cart through the gate down to the switching point. You can then reach through the barred window and flip the switch from there. Hmm...you know, I've never tried riding the trolley and dismounting while it's still moving, so maybe you wouldn't even have to chase after the cart to get through the gate. In any event, the point is you don't have to go slogging around those elevator/mine mazes to get to the switches. If you face the barred window and move a little to the left, you should be able to see/reach the switch from the area where the tracks split. Then, simply walk back up to the starting point (they put switches to open the gates for ~5 seconds on the downside of the tracks), pull the lever to bring back the cart, and ride it down.
