Post-Sandy H Train Action in the Rockaways (2012)
Following the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, subway service between Howard Beach and Broad Channel was suspended due to track being washed out. On November 20, 2012, a free shuttle designated as H replaced the Rockaway portion of the A service between Far Rockaway–Mott Avenue and Beach 90th Street via the Hammels Wye. With the emergency implementation of this service, the H rollsign designation returned to public usage for the first time since 1993. On May 30, 2013, full service to the Rockaways was restored, and the free H service was discontinued. This video shows this unique and unusual operation, which was only in effect for a few months. Enjoy!
