During his presidency, Franklin Delano Roosevelt would arrive at the Waldorf=Astoria through a secure, below-ground train. 
Track 61, which is not on any official maps, would whisk him and other notables into the swanky and then brand new hotel. Here's one aspect of this story that The Tracker finds fascinating: The armored train car FDR used may still be down there, not far from the tracks where common Metro-North trains rumble every day. Here's a Fox 5 report from August, courtesy of YouTube, that looks at efforts to examine the train. Discoveries include tell-tale armor and codes that suggest this could be it. We'll also do a little more digging into this intriguing story.

That Fox 5 report was the biggest load of bull ever. First of all track 61 is on ALL of the maps, official or not. Second of all, everyone has known about that car being there, and most assume it is not a presidential car. Third of all, the fact that there is an "x" on the side of the train does not mean it is military.
The only thing interesting in that report is that federal agents in full riot gear showed up to look at a railroad car that has been sitting there for years.
