The Mystery of Track 61
Underneath the luxurious Waldorf Astoria Hotel in midtown Manhattan lies a mysterious train station. Few people have seen it, and even fewer know why it was built--or who once rode in the private train car that still sits on the tracks.
Who was powerful enough to have a secret train station built beneath one of the fanciest hotels in the world? And why did he need his own private car?

oooooo sweet! i wish i lved in new york! ah!
I havn't yet seen the video, but when I viseted NYC I stayed there! I can't believe I didn't think to check under the building (this was before I read Kiki Strike) I wish I had though! It would've been awesome!
And as for being the fanciest, the lobby was nice, but the rooms were the same as any other hotel, just a tinsy bit nicer. AND the fire alarm went off at 5:30 AM. Yes, in the morning. It was terrible. And just as we all hustled our tired butts down to the lobby, it was anounced that it was a false alarm Arg.
That is so awesome. It probily has an entrance to Shadow City too. I can't wait to we visit NYC again!
I THINK I heard about that on the History Channel. Is that where you got it?
That is soooooooooo cool!
sorry bridge, but you read Kiki Strike before visiting New York.
When I viseted New York, I got a pic of the Marble Cemetar:)

Actually, I had time, but I was sick! Over vacation!! AARRGGHH The world is unfair. Plus I fainted and threw up twice on on Mother's Day!! Poor Mama, most of her kids were sick.

New York is amazing. I wish I was there. I wish I could be there. I wish I could visit NYC. But no. (My friends hear me say this ALL the time)
That is soo cool! OoO Mee too shelby (or Bookworm). And I think so too Serkit7, it might have a entrance to Shadow City... *D ANANKA! BEWARE!! THE POLICE WILL SOON DESCOVER SHADOW CITY!!! XD
my mom doesn't think a private train track under new york which was used secretly by a secretly crippled president isn't any big deal. pu-shaw, mother! it's totally rad!
