Grand Central station holds much more than just trains. The third level houses tennis courts that are open to members, and from 1939 to 1964, CBS had three studios above the main hall, which filmed the Evening News as well as classics like "What's My Line?"
The station also has a secret platform, number 61, that ran underneath the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. Although it was used for several visiting dignitaries, the platform's most famous guest was President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was more easily transported in his wheelchair to his hotel room and could avoid the public crowds.
