[6] Evidence of the station's previous incarnation is in the Long Island Rail Road-type exit steps near the south end, and the aforementioned longer platforms.
[8] The subway station is served by the A train at all times[10] and is between Howard Beach–JFK Airport to the south and Aqueduct Racetrack to the north.
South of the station, the line is on a concrete embankment due to North Conduit Avenue changing its level of grade by ramping down into an open-cut on both sides.
[15] There is an additional unstaffed fare control area at the north end of Rockaway-bound platform.
Two HEET platform-level turnstiles lead to a staircase that goes down to a pedestrian tunnel that runs underneath the line.
Until August 2013, this was exit-only, with a still-standing chain link fence that was locked when it was closed, with signs that had informed people that there is no subway entrance in the tunnel.
However, the adjacent stations to the north and south, Aqueduct Racetrack and Howard Beach–JFK Airport respectively, are both accessible.
