Reader Jon Sivell sent me this awesome photo of an out-of-date “A” map, still in situ at Far Rockaway/Mott Ave station, the last stop at the very bottom right of this map. It dates from prior to 2003, as it shows a shuttle bus from Howard Beach/JFK Airport, not the AirTrain. Anyone have anything else that can pin the date down a little better?

Edit: With the help of some eagle-eyed readers, we’ve narrowed this down to being from between 1989 (when the “9” service began) and 1998 (when the “B” stopped terminating at 168th Street).
