Beneath the plush luxury of New York City's Waldorf Astoria hotel lies an old abandoned railway platform where an antique train car is parked up.

The hidden Track 61 allowed President Franklin D Roosevelt to travel between his presidential suite and his childhood home in Hyde Park without attracting attention, and was an important asset during the wartime years.

Rumour has it that the abandoned track is still used to ferry celebrities and other notable guests to and from the hotel unseen.
