The secret below Grand Central Station
Advertisements [?]
Go underground to New York's secret rail platform under Grand Central Station - Track 61.

It does not appear on any station maps or plans and was built specially for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to use in the 1930s.

FDR had polio and used the hidden platform to get on and off vehicles without revealing his disability to the public.
