| 释义 |
Track 61 is a storage track abutting a private railroad platform on the Metro-North Railroad in Manhattan, New York City. It is located beneath the Waldorf Astoria New York hotel, within an underground storage yard northeast of Grand Central Terminal.[1][2] The platform is part of the Grand Central Terminal complex. HistoryTrack 61 is part of the "Lex Yard", a twelve-track storage yard under the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. It shares a platform with track 63, to its west. A similar platform exists between tracks 53 and 54, to the east.[3] The yard was built during the construction of Grand Central Terminal in the 1910s, and served the terminal's power station and heating plant. The platforms at tracks 61/63 and 53/54 were originally used to carry ashes away. The power plant was demolished in 1930 to make way for the hotel.[4]{{Rp|150}} The platform was not originally intended to be used as a station, but its location made it ideal for unobtrusive access to the Waldorf Astoria when the hotel was built.[4]{{Rp|164}}[5] Track 61 was famously used by General John J. Pershing in 1938; by Franklin Delano Roosevelt during World War II in 1944; and by General Douglas MacArthur in 1951.[6][7][4]{{Rp|163}} The track was also used for the exhibition of American Locomotive Company's new diesel locomotive in 1946;[4]{{Rp|166}} a fashion show by Filene's and the New Haven Railroad in 1948;[8] a charity-benefit dinner in 1955;[9] and an event featuring Andy Warhol in 1965.[10] The 1946 event was the only event in which Track 61 was open to the public.[4]{{Rp|164}} In 1978, there were plans to convert Track 61 into a platform for Amtrak trains, though this never happened.[4]{{Rp|163}} {{As of|2014|5|1|df=us}}, it has been reported to still be in occasional use.[1] In popular cultureTrack 61 is featured in Maxime Chattam's novel La Promesse des ténèbres. Track 61 is also featured in John J. Bonk's book "Madhattan Mystery, and in Law & Order: SVU's 'Svengali' (Season 9, Episode 6). It was also featured in an episode of the podcast Omnibus!
