Far Rockaway — The far end of the A — the longest subway ride in the system, more than 31 miles from the top of Manhattan.
The Asplits into branches, so it doesn’t really run as one straight line. Every station it serves is listed here in order along the trunk, with the branches shown one after the other — a real trip takes one branch or the other, not both.
Lines and stations come from the MTA’s official GTFS feed and subway stations dataset, current through 09/07/2026. Rush-hour express variants (6X, 7X, FX) are folded into the local line they share, which already stops at every station on that trunk.
