List of New York City Subway terminals

Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue

NYCS terminals
Legend
Terminal with separated termination and boarding platforms
Terminal with simultaneous boarding and alighting
Terminal with through tracks

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.

Also, a station can be:

• terminal-only (like Flushing – Main Street (IRT Flushing Line))
• terminal for some services and through station for other services (like Bedford Park Boulevard (IND Concourse Line))
