Hammels Wye. If you ever wondered what it looks like to go from Track F4A to F3A to F6, wonder no more! The cultish "H" bullet returned post Hurricane Sandy when a small fleet of Budd R-32s was trucked out to the Rockaways to provide limited service. Because of the damage to the trestles over Jamaica Bay, the H operated only on the peninsula from Mott Avenue to Beach 90 Street-Holland. At night the trains were brought to the yard at Rockaway Park. This required the rare daylight move over the F6/single track leg of Hammels Wye with a, but with a railfan's window. Over the years, the NYCTA/MTA NYCT Transit has experimented with different service patterns here, in the 80s there was a regular C to B116-Rockaway Park during the day and a "'Round The World" H at night, which would go from Euclid Avenue to Mott Avenue to B116 back to Euclid as all A trains terminated at Lefferts Blvd. Today the F6 track is used only for non-revenue moves.
