Track 61, Secret Train Platform Under the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan

Track 61 is a long abandoned, once secret train platform under the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Manhattan that allowed VIPs like President Franklin Roosevelt to enter the hotel secretly (see a 2009 video report by the BBC). In fact, as Gothamist discovered on a recent tour, President Roosevelt’s armored train car is still there.
