The 4 Lexington Avenue Express is a service of the New York City Subway. It is colored green on station signs, the New York City Subway map and on most IRT rolling stock equipment since it uses the IRT Lexington Avenue Line through Manhattan.
The 4 operates between Woodlawn, Bronx and Crown Heights–Utica Avenue, Brooklyn at all times. The normal service pattern for the 4 is express in Manhattan and Brooklyn and local in the Bronx. Late nights, the 4 makes all local stops and is extended south to New Lots Avenue. During rush hours, in the peak direction (to Manhattan during A.M. hours, from Manhattan during P.M. hours), the 4 skips 138th Street–Grand Concourse.
The 4 is the official train of the New York Yankees since it serves Yankee Stadium at 161st Street–Yankee Stadium station. Several R62 and R142 cars running on this line were decorated with the team's logos and colors during the World Series.
The 4 fleet consists of R142s and R142As, but R62s and R62As do make occasional appearances on that route.
The following lines are used by the 4 service:
| Line | Tracks | When |
|---|---|---|
| IRT Jerome Avenue Line (full line) | local (skips 138th Street–Grand Concourse, rush hours in peak direction) | always |
| IRT Lexington Avenue Line (full line) | express (local late nights) | always |
| Joralemon Street Tunnel | N/A | always |
| IRT Eastern Parkway Line (north of Utica Avenue) | express (local late nights) | always |
| IRT Eastern Parkway Line (south of Utica Avenue) | N/A | late night and some rush-hour trips in peak direction |

[edit] Service history
During the extension of the IRT Lexington Avenue Line south of 42nd Street–Grand Central Terminal, shuttle trains served the IRT Jerome Avenue Line (which at the time was only between East 149th Street-Grand Concourse and Kingsbridge Road).
In 1918, the entire Jerome and Lexington Avenue Lines were completed and the connection to the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line at 42nd Street was removed. Trains began running between Woodlawn and Bowling Green.
Beginning November 24, 1925, rush-hour trains ran to Crown Heights–Utica Avenue. Over the next three years, trains were gradually extended there during other times.
Beginning December 20, 1946, trains were extended from Utica to New Lots Avenue during late nights.
From 1950-1957, there was limited rush hour service to Flatbush Avenue.
Beginning April 8, 1960, late night trains were rerouted to Flatbush Avenue.
Beginning July 10, 1983, the current 4 service was formed, except that midday trains ran only to Atlantic Avenue. On January 18, 1988, those trains were extended to Utica Avenue as well.
