Howard Beach–JFK Airport is a station on the IND Rockaway Line of the New York City Subway. Located at Coleman Square at 159th Avenue and 103rd Street in the Howard Beach neighborhood of Queens, it is served by the NYCS|A train at all times.
This station has two side platforms and four tracks; however, the northbound express track is broken just to the south.
Howard Beach Station originally opened in April 1913, as a Long Island Rail Road station, which replaced the former Ramblersville (LIRR station). In 1923, the station was replaced with sheltered sheds on both sides of the tracks. On June 27, 1955 the station along with the rest of the Rockaway Beach Branch was taken out of service and acquired by the New York City Transit Authority. On June 28, 1956, it was reopened as the subway station it is today as the previous station was razed.
Besides the NYCS|A train, the JFK Express, which provided a link to John F. Kennedy International Airport served this station from 1978 to 1990, which included a free shuttle bus to the airport. When the JFK Express was cancelled by MTA, only the shuttle bus to the airport existed, until a spur of the AirTrain JFK debuted in 2003.
