It is rumored that during WWII, all plans and blueprints of GCS were destroyed by the government. They feared that German spies would gain access to a top secret control room, crippling the comings and goings of all GCS trains, thus destroying the main transportation route of allied American troops and supplies over seas. It is also believed that a secret network of underground tracks and a hidden platform no longer in use, was once the private entrance into NYC for FDR. A secret freight elevator big enough for a car, went directly up to street level, and the Waldorf Astoria hotel. Using a private back entrance into the hotel, FDR's aides could carry the crippled president inside without the press or public seeing. It was not known at that time by the public that FDR could not walk and only stand for a few minutes at a time with support.KeeKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11933653738030853335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281803065326498080.post-72152242628208653712008-06-11T14:56:00.000-07:002008-06-11T14:56:00.000-07:00Last year when you were "stuck" at the Fancy Food ...Last year when you were "stuck" at the Fancy Food Show, Holly & I went...it is amazing!!
