This is news to me, but apparently there’s going to be an H train in the Far Rockaways offering free shuttle service between Far Rockaway-Mott Ave. to Beach 90th Street. Here’s a video of what is presumably that exact train being fitted onto the tracks via crane.

UPDATE: Yep, it’s for the H shuttle!

Here’s how we got subway cars to the Rockaways for the #H shuttle, without being able to use rails to get there. flic.kr/s/aHsjCRHC7X
