Aqueduct Racetrack 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 South Ozone Park, Queens, it is served by northbound A trains at all times . ==History==
Formerly a branch of the Long Island Rail Road, what is now the IND Rockaway Line was purchased by the city in 1955 and converted to rapid transit standards. As part of the project, an additional platform for northbound trains to Brooklyn and Manhattan was built north of the existing Aqueduct station.〔 The new station and the rest of the subway line opened on June 28, 1956. A major reconstruction of the racetrack also occurred around this time. From 1959 until 1981, extra fare trains called the "Daily Double Special" and "Aqueduct Special" ran nonstop from the lower level of the 42nd Street – Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan and crossed over to the northbound platform to discharge passengers at the racetrack. The special train services were replaced in 1978 by the JFK Express, which ran until 1990 and also stopped at this station on racing days. The remaining service along the line would only be scheduled to stop on race days, though some trains stopped here regardless of the time of day.〔 In April 2011, the station was closed and underwent a $15 millon renovation, sponsored by the Resorts World Casino (or "Racino") which opened at the racetrack in 2011. The renovation added new staircases to street level, an enclosed passageway between the station and casino, and an elevator from the street to platform level to make the station ADA-accessible. The station reopened in August 2013, and now operates 24 hours a day.〔 In 2013, there was a proposal to rename this station to Aqueduct – Resorts World Casino〔〔〔(Resorts World Casino in Queens may buy name of A train subway stop )〕 and to add a platform for Rockaway-bound trains.〔
