Aqueduct Racetrack station
The Aqueduct Racetrack station is a station on the IND Rockaway Line of the New York City Subway. Located on the west side of Aqueduct Racetrack near Pitkin Avenue in Ozone Park, Queens, it is served by northbound A trains at all times. The station contains four tracks, of which the outer two are in passenger service; the two center express tracks have been disconnected from the line and permanently removed. There is a single side platform next to the northbound local track. The station was built in 1959 to serve the racetrack and on racing days the station would be open with "Aqueduct Special" trains running nonstop from 42nd Street. The specials were replaced by JFK Express service, before service at the station was altogether discontinued in 1990. The station reopened in 1997 and was typically open only on racing days, although some trains stopped at the station regardless of the time of day. From 2011 to 2013, it was closed and rebuilt to provide better access to the Resorts World Casino, and an elevator was installed to make the station compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Since then, the Aqueduct Racetrack station has operated 24 hours a day. Aqueduct Racetrack is one of the least-used stations in the system. It was ranked 400th out of 424 by ridership as of 2019, with 601,436 passengers.
