Isn’t there a tunnel under the street from a commercial bank to the Federal Reserve gold vaults to permit movement of gold from the fed vaults to the bank gold vaults?

No. The bullion vault is accessible by elevator only. And the stories that there is a tunnel from the vault to the East River that allows the vault to be flooded in the event of a break-in are only stories. Though the vault staff won't do anything to discourage them.
