Service history


R12 end rollsign.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.
