There have been many iterations of Rockaway service over the years. I was born in Far Rock, spent my childhood in Far rock, and I moved back to the Far Rock last year when I had a chance to snap up one of the many new apartments being built here. Of course, in the '60s and '70s, the A train was the sole province of R-10s. I remember riding the HH shuttle (R-1/9s, the E train to Far Rock (R-1/9s, later R-40 Slants), then in the late 70s the CC local did the Rock Park service (R-10s). The shuttles to Rock Park became more interesting in the late '70s and during the '80s. There was a blue H train (although I don't recall ever seeing a blue H end sign, it was blue on the map), and there was the late night Rockaway Round Robin with its circuitous route covering the entire peninsula. AFAIK, there was never a blue S end sign used on equipment assigned to Rockaway.Nowadays, though, rush hour drives me crazy. There are three different A services, (Far Rock, Lefferts, Rock Park) and if you are trying to get to Far Rock from, say, Broadway Nassau, you might have to wait through four trains (A-Rock Park, C, A-Lefferts, C) before the train that goes to Far Rock arrives...plus the Rock Park shuttle is a full time service, so it runs even during the rush... |
