Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Mon Jun 29 10:24:29 2026 Tuscarora Almanac for June 28 1956 – from The Book of First Runs The New York City Transit Authority begins train service to the Rockaways . Service will run from Rockaway Boulevard on the Liberty Avenue Line to Rockaway Park and Wavecrest. The inaugural run is made by a train of the then new R-16’s. The front of the train carries a banner reading: “Rockaway Here We Come” By order of the mayor June 28, 1956 was designated as “Rockaway Day”. Note: Until a new station within city limits can be constructed at Far Rockaway the Wavecrest Station will serve as a temporary station. 2026 marks the seventieth year of service to the Rockaways.
