The MTA will run extra service tomorrow before and after the parade for the U.S. Women's Soccer Team. The schedule for eastbound trains after the parade looks mostly normal, but there's one an interesting westbound train: Leaving Farmingdale, and making all stops at Queens Village, then Jamaica. So it will apparently make those rare stops at Floral Park and Queens Village, but not at Hollis. Has this special train ever run before?
