Interesting. Eastern topic but relevant to all of us.

It doesn't appear to be very much of a secret anymore.

Besides, CBS, I believe that PBS did a piece on this. Pretty fascinating stuff, if not "secret".

It makes one wonder if there are any other similar deals lurking undiscovered out there, say a secret siding under SP Headquarters Central that was used during Prohibition to smuggle-in booze. I'd like to be the guy that discovered that one!
