The Far Rockaway branch runs in a due southeasterly direction from Jamaica to Valley Stream, then peels off due south to Hewlett. It then runs southwest in a virtually straight line the rest of the way to Far Rock. The format is kind of an off-kilter 'U' or 'V'. So those commuting from between Woodmere and Far Rock are actually traveling east to go to west to NYC.This is why the $3.00 City Ticket doesn't work for Far Rockaway despite it being physically located in NYC. But many Far Rock residents- including one I work with- don't seem to understand the concept that a rail line can begin and end end in NYC whilst running outside of NYC in between. |
