All aboard the money train.
The city’s only part-time subway station is now open for business 24-hours a day for gamblers.
The Aqueduct Racetrack stop on the A line in Queens used to be a seasonal operation. Trains only went there on race days when the horses were running.
But the MTA last week quietly put into effect a schedule everyone expects from the NYC subway system: trains coming at all hours, 365 days a year.
Subway service has been boosted because of the popularity of the Resorts World Casino New York City, which opened in 2011, MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said.
“There’s enough demand there, from both patrons and employes of the complex, it warrants keeping it open 24-7,” Ortiz said.
That’s actually longer than the racino itself, which closes to the public for four hours daily.
James Oliverio, 63, a retired transit worker from Brooklyn, took the A train to the casino Thursday.
“It made my life a lot easier,” Oliverio said. “This is a 500% improvement.”
Only Manhattan-bound trains stop at the newly converted year-round Aqueduct Racetrack station. Located on a little spur off the main A-train line, the one-platform station dates back to the 1950s when it served as a terminal for special racetrack trains that ran from Times Square.
Riders from Manhattan have to go one stop down the line to Howard Beach and switch to a Manhattan-bound train.
Casino-bound subway riders also can take the A train to the nearby Aqueduct/North Conduit station but there’s an added hassle. Riders have to take a shuttle bus to the casino.
Hung Wu, 62 Brooklyn, who is retired, said he comes to the casino 4 or 5 times a week.
“Now, my commute is easier,” he said.
Delores McDowell-Foster and six other Texas women who had a mind to gamble, took the subway. They were considering driving more than two hours to the casinos in Atlantic City but dreaded getting stuck in traffic.
“We heard that we could just take the A train to go to a casino and went nuts,” McDowell-Foster said.
The racetrack station was closed from April 2011 until last week for construction. Genting, the casino operator, built an enclosed walkway connecting the platform to the casino. A casino spokeswoman couldn’t immediately answer why the construction project took so long.
“This beautiful new station makes Resorts World Casino and the local community more accessible than ever to residents of the five boroughs,” said casino spokeswoman Kerri Lyon.

I think the admin of this web site is genuinely working hard
in favor of his website, because here every material is quality based information.
I couldn’t refrain from commenting. Very well written!
Hi there to all, the contents existing at this web site
are actually remarkable for people experience, well, keep up the
good work fellows.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though
you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening
to read?
WOW just what I was searching for. Came here by searching

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism
or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it
appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help prevent content
from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and
was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like
yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Heya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly.

in two different internet browsers and both show the
same results.
