Far Rockaway Branch
Encyclopedia
The Far Rockaway Branch is an electrified rail line and service owned and operated by the Long Island Rail Road
in the U.S. state
of New York
. The branch begins at Valley Interlocking, just east of Valley Stream
station; the Long Beach Branch
also begins there, heading east and south to Long Beach
, and the Atlantic Branch heads west to Jamaica
. From Valley Stream, the line heads south and southwest through southwestern Nassau County
, ending at Far Rockaway
in Queens
. LIRR maps and schedules indicate that the Far Rockaway Branch service continues west along the Atlantic Branch to Jamaica. This two-track branch provides all day service in both directions to the Atlantic Terminal (at Flatbush Avenue) in Brooklyn
, with transfers required at Jamaica
(on almost all non rush-hour trains originating in Far Rockaway) for Penn Station
in Midtown Manhattan
. During rush hour, express service may bypass Jamaica station.
. But the transaction had not been completed, and McManus and his rowdy Irish friends tore up the track the next night; a legal battle led to the company paying McManus.
Due to the success of the branch, the South Side built the 200-foot (60 m) South Side Pavilion, a restaurant on the beach at what is today Beach 30th Street. The line was extended west to the Seaside House (Beach 103rd Street) by 1872 and Neptune House (Beach 116th Street) in 1875.
Two stations on the branch were built as Arverne (LIRR station), both of which were built by Remington Vernam
. The first of which was in 1888 at Gaston Avenue(Beach 67th Street). It had a large tower, was shaped like a Victorian hotel and had a connection to the Ocean Electric Railway
, as did much of the Rockaway Beach and Far Rockaway branches. Due to a quarrel between the LIRR and Vernam, another Arverne Station was built at Stration Avenue in 1892. From then on, the original Arverne station was known as Arverne-Gaston Avenue (LIRR station) to distinguish it from the Arverne-Straiton Avenue (LIRR station).
Until 1950 trains from Penn Station could leave the Main Line at Whitepot Junction (40.7254°N 73.8608°W) and head south past the Atlantic Branch connection at Woodhaven Junction (40.6871°N 73.8433°W) to the Hammels Wye at 40.5913°N 73.8088°W, turning right there to Rockaway Park or left to Valley Stream and Jamaica and maybe on to Penn Station. Frequent fires and maintenance problems, notably a May 23, 1950 fire between Broad Channel Station and The Raunt
, led the LIRR to abandon the Queens portion of the route on October 3, 1955, which was acquired by the city to become the IND Rockaway Line
, with service provided by the A
train. Most Queens stations along the former Far Rockaway and Rockaway Beach Branch
es reopened as subway stations on June 28, 1956, the exception being Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue station, which was split between the NYCTA and LIRR on January 16, 1958.
