This is both an AirTrain station which takes you into Kennedy airport as well as a subway station for the a subway line,. As to kellington I think it was Duke Ellington sang in his take the a train song a train goes from Harlem all the way down to the rockaways it's the longest single line subway line in New York city.

Are NY/C public workers so clueless, or is it run of the mill corruption?

The A train does not run often from Howard beach, so I have another 10 minutes to contemplate this, surrounded by the pristine smell of urine welcoming me to...
