The West Hempstead Branch is a short electric branch from Valley Stream through Westwood, Malverne, Lakeview and Hempstead Gardens to West Hempstead.
Most of its trains are shuttles to Jamaica or Atlantic Terminal, and service is concentrated on weekdays. The Valley Stream end is shared with the Far Rockaway and Long Beach branches, so a change there or at Jamaica reaches the rest of the system.
