They did a partial rebuild on St ALbans as it was falling apart, retaining 2 or 4 cars open, and would have been abandoned with Springfield Gardens, except the V.A. got wind of it and said don't you dare.

Up until that era, alternate Far Rockaway trains skipped Locust Manor and alternate Hempstead train skipped Hollis.

Until 1972, weekday off peak Far Rockaway and Long Beach trains ran every 45 minutes. Alternate trains ran express of each ran express to Valley Stream, the Long Beach running via the Montauk.

Until 1972, weekday off peak Hempstead trains ran every 30 minutes. Alternate train ran express to Floral Park.

There were also East Williston Locals that ran every 90 minutes skipping only Bellerose.

Floral Park got a lot of service.
