Track 61 is found behind a locked door on 49th Street in NYC. It has been out of service for decades but once upon a time was the secret train platform used by Franklin D. Roosevelt and other VIPs to enter the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. FDR, wanting to keep his disability out of the public eye, had his armor-plated Pierce Arrow car drive off the train, onto the platform, and straight into the elevator.
