The Rockaway Park Shuttle is a shuttle service of the New York City Subway operating in Queens. It connects with the A train at Broad Channel station. This shuttle train provides service to the western part of the Rockaway peninsula, with a terminus at Rockaway Park – Beach 116th Street. It operates on trackage that was originally part of the Long Island Rail Road's Far Rockaway Branch until the mid-1950s.
Famous quotes containing the words park and/or shuttle:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And the shuttle never falters, but to draw an encouraging conclusion
From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just
Breathe in with the courage of each day, recognizing yourself as one
Who must with difficulty get down from high places?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
