Aqueduct-North Conduit Avenue (A)

Home<N.Y.C. Subway Stations<Aqueduct-North Conduit Avenue

Aqueduct-North Conduit Avenue is a former station on its Rockaway Branch. The station has two side platforms on the four track ROW. Each platform is extremely long, maybe encompassing twelve cars. A small canopied area at the northern end of the downtown platform has a staircase down to two high exit gates and an underpass that is only open during horse racing days. The uptown platform also has a canopied area that goes even further north than the one on the downtown platform but it is completely fenced off. Passengers access the racetrack from Manhattan-bound trains at the racetracks special station, Aqueduct Racetrack about a block north (less than a full train's length). The middle of each platform is out in the open. At the southern end is another canopied area with a staircase down from each platform to the station house/mezzanine area that is located underneath the tracks at street level with three turnstiles, a small waiting area and the token booth and doors that lead out to the north sidewalk of North Conduit Avenue underneath the subway's embankment's bridge.
