Rockaway Boulevard is a station on the IND Fulton Street Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Rockaway Boulevard, Woodhaven Boulevard/Cross Bay Boulevard, and Liberty Avenue in Ozone Park, Queens, it is served by the NYCS|A train at all times.
This station has two side platforms and three tracks. Just to the east, the IND Rockaway Line branches off from the Fulton Street Line and heads south to the Rockaways, while the Fulton Street Line continues ENE to Lefferts Boulevard; both of these are track direction "south".
Rockaway Boulevard was one of the six stations along Liberty Avenue in Queens, from 80th Street–Hudson Street through Ozone Park–Lefferts Boulevard, as well as the current 3-track elevated structure, built for the BMT Fulton Street Line in 1915 as part of BMT's portion of the Dual Contracts. The connection to the BMT was severed on April 26, 1956, and the IND was extended east (track direction south) from Euclid Avenue via a connecting tunnel and new intermediate station at Grant Avenue, with the new service beginning on April 29, 1956.
