@[email protected] Agreed. I’ve seen some rumblings that it is considered as a backup evac route for VIPs when they are in town. But, nothing definite… nor would I expect there to be.

@[email protected] I’ve heard that too, but I’m skeptical that it was ever a serious contingency plan. The track layout makes it a rather poor choice for a quick escape, since it would require a fairly lengthy set of reverse switching moves from the siding to get lined up for the Park Avenue tunnel.

@[email protected] Understood. Might be an urban legend, or risk accepted, no way to know.
