Try looking at:http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F00E6DB1130F935A15755C0A9679C8B63 And I point out: "He would not even have to change trains to get to his beloved racetrack on Long Island because he arranged for a connection from the subway tracks to the Long Island Rail Road tracks at the Atlantic Avenue station in Brooklyn. This way, he and his guests could board the car from a door in the basement bar of the Belmont Hotel, which stood near Grand Central Terminal, and ride express to Belmont Park." The article also says Belmont didn't use his train after 1919. |
