(rshsdepot) A "Proud day on the private siding of the Waldorf"

So I was perusing the Times for 1946 (yes I know this is quite up to 
date for me), and came across a full page ad with a stylized diesel 
locomotive picture. September 24, 1946 would see a 6000 HP 
Diesel-Electric like those going to the Santa Fe, it said. It must have 
been for viewing, I guess it was implying that. It ended with "This is a 
proud day on the private siding of the Waldorf"  I didn't see any 
pictures in the paper the next day of this event.

What has become of that siding, is it accessible still from the hotel?

Later this week I will send a picture from the same month of the United 
Nations station on the LIRR at Flushing Meadows, with questions....be 
prepared!
