Re: RE: (rshsdepot) Re:



OK, first I should mention that it has taken me about 2 hours to see this message. Outlook Express kept disconnecting the server before I got a message. Even as I was connected. So maybe a message is corrupt, so I go to Springmail, an web way to see my mail..to do this I must turn off my cookie blocker and then approve each cookie one by ibe..but it kept crashing, or possibly the Opera browser which seems to also be now broken....it eventually would act weird, all of a sudden after I was in my mail box it said all of a sudden taht I didsn't have a cookie....so now I am at the slowere and semi-despised Internet Explorer, hoping this message can get out...I have one answer maybe for all the questions below..

I will send it in a secong message though if this works...I would like to ask what was the talk of a car going up an elevator and into a garage? from the train on the platform....a 1940's car?

OK here goes

	Wow! Well, that exhaustive description would certainly seem to be
dispositive! It does raise several fascinating questions, however: (1) since
the Waldorf managed to build itself a little  basement on the south side of
50th Street, that little strip would seem to be directly adjacent to the end
of the "Waldorf platform". One must wonder whether it would be possible for
them to just open up a door right onto the platform itself; (2) who controls
the platform? I assume it is whomever controls the rest of the Grand Central
yard, which would be Metro North? CSX? or maybe the Waldorf itself?; (3)
what do you think the odds are for anyone to actually use that for anything?

No, they would have entered through the door at 101-121 E 49 St.  Photo
