Is there a shortcut during the train ride intro to Half-Life?

Is there a shortcut during the train ride intro to Half-Life? - Empty Subway Train

I remember being told that it's possible to escape the train ride intro to Half-Life and go through a door which appears early on in the ride which will skip the events of the game and take you directly to an ending.

I can't find any evidence of it online, was this just a playground rumour?
