S Rockaway Park Shuttle (New York City Subway service)

(Redirected from IND Rockaway Park Branch)

The S-Rockaway Park Shuttle is a shuttle train service in Queens, New York on the New York City Subway. It connects with the A-8 Avenue Express at Broad Channel station. This shuttle train provides service to the southern part of the Rockaway peninsula in Queens, with a terminus at Beach 116th Street/Rockaway Park. It was part of the Long Island Rail Road until the mid-1960s.

From 1967 to 1971, the Rockaway Shuttle was lettered "HH" (color: red) and was extended to Euclid Avenue in Brooklyn between roughly midnight and 6:00 A.M., hours when the A-8 Avenue Express did not run to and from Far Rockaway. Later, the designation "CC" (color: green) was used for the shuttle, although during rush hours this train was extended all the way to Bedford Park Boulevard in the Bronx. In the 1980s the shuttle's identifier was "H" (color: blue, and not "HH" again because the New York City subway system had abolished two-letter designations by then). Today a special version of the "A" train runs between 207th Street in Manhattan and Rockaway Park during rush hours, replacing the "S."


Some maps show the current S service in blue, but this has never been used on trains or signs.
