if one pulls the cord, the train should stop
if there is a special occasion, then it might

Alabama Avenue is officially listed as a J-only stop. But unofficially, the Z stops there too due to the fact that the ENY shops and bus depot are both served by this stop. So it's for the convenience of these facilities' employees.

There was no Jamaica/Broadway skip-stop service between the September '76 demise of the K and the December '88 Archer extension opening. So for over twelve years, the J was the sole service beyond Myrtle. That meant EVERY train made EVERY stop from Myrtle into Queens.

This all-local service pattern combined with a badly deteriorating structure and most service provided by aging R16s and 27/30s, contributed to a dramatic decrease of ridership that never recovered-DESPITE the line being re-extended to Jamaica, connected with the E and the return of skip-stop service.

Interesting. So do all Zs stop there, or only those at shift changes?

They all stop there. The station has J/Z stop marker. Besides, there are only a handful of Z trains.

No, there are three southbound E's out of 179 in the afternoon. (They used to depart at 3:57, 4:16, and 4:36; those times may have changed.)

The three morning analogues drop out at Union Turnpike.

Anything is possible, but whoever he was, he appeared to be sleeping on that 5 train because he had nowhere better to sleep.

If R-160's go to the A, then the train will not stop even if somebody pulls the cord.

No, but perhaps it's reasonable to direct passengers to the entrance they need.

The entrances at 40/Broadway direct passengers to 7th Avenue for the 1/2/3/9/7 and to 8th Avenue for the A/C/E, since otherwise it's a long walk through crowded passageways.

Depends if you mean "Aqueduct Racetrack" or "Aqueduct-North Conduit".
A minor point but there are 2 Aqueducts.

As a formatting issue, I think it would be better if the line names were in smaller type, all caps, to help distinguish them visually from station names.

"there are only a handful of Z trains"

"you must have large hands!!!!!!!!!2

If there are five Zs in each peak, two normal hands would do it....

The J ran skip-stop by itself for a short while, with "A" and "B" trains.
