List of New York City Subway terminals

Summary

In the New York City Subway there are three types of terminal stations:

  1. Station where a train proceeds beyond the station, like at a non-terminal station, and returns to service on another track.
  2. Station with one or more tracks, often with bumper blocks at their end. A train terminates on all applicable tracks and changes direction.
  3. Station where a train terminates on a track that is (or can be) also used as a through track.
