The 5 Lexington Avenue Express is a rapid transit service of the New York City Subway. It is colored green on station signs, route signs, and the official subway map, since it uses IRT Lexington Avenue Line in Manhattan.

Rush hour and midday service operates between Dyre Avenue in Eastchester, Bronx and Brooklyn College – Flatbush Avenue in Midwood, Brooklyn, operating local in the Bronx, express in Manhattan and Brooklyn. During rush hours in the peak direction, the 5 operates express in the Bronx and also operates between Nereid Avenue in Wakefield, Bronx and Flatbush Avenue. During evenings and weekends, the 5 terminates at Bowling Green in Manhattan instead of Brooklyn. During late nights, the 5 operates as a shuttle between Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street only in the Bronx, with passengers using the 2 and 4 trains in the rest of the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Limited rush hour service also operates between either Dyre Avenue or Nereid Avenue in the Bronx and either Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn or New Lots Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn instead of Flatbush Avenue due to space limitations along the Nostrand Avenue segment south of Franklin Avenue, and to allow trains to lay up at the Livonia Yard in East New York.

Dyre Avenue Shuttle

A train of R142 cars in Template:NYCS-bull-small service departs Baychester Avenue in the Bronx

The East 180th Street – Dyre Avenue Shuttle or Dyre Avenue Shuttle was established as a new subway service and full-time shuttle in 1941 between the former East 180th Street station of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway and Dyre Avenue, which was the last station on the NYW&B within New York City. Passengers had to make a walking transfer between the Dyre Avenue Line and the IRT White Plains Road Line at East 180th Street as the two lines did not share a common station and there was no track connection between the lines.

In 1957 a flyover connection opened between the East 180th Street station of the White Plains Road Line and the Dyre Avenue Line, enabling through service by trains of the 2 from Manhattan to Dyre Avenue. At the same time, the former NYW&B station was closed and off-hours Dyre Avenue Shuttles rerouted to the White Plains Road Line station. These shuttles were initially labeled 2 like the full-time service but were later signed 9, a number used decades later for IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line skip-stop service.

The off-hours Dyre Avenue shuttle still operates, but trains on the line are signed 5, the same as the through service that now serves the line.

Service history

The section from East 180th Street to Dyre Avenue was once the mainline of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, a standard gauge electric commuter railroad built by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Upon its closure in 1937, the entire property was put up for sale.

Rush hour service, designated with a diamond bullet until May 2005

In 1940, the City of New York purchased the section and began integrating the line into the system. The railroad north of the city line to White Plains and Port Chester was quickly dismantled. The section below East 180th Street to Greens Farm Junction was once used to interchange with the New Haven (and later Penn Central and Conrail) to bring subway cars and other equipment on and off the system. This section has since been removed, isolating this part of the subway from interchange.

Beginning 1934, trains normally ran from 241st Street or East 180th Street to Atlantic Avenue. During rush hours, they were extended to Utica Avenue.

From 1938 to 1950, weekend trains ran to Utica Avenue. Over the years, they were extended to New Lots Avenue every once in a while.

Beginning May 3, 1957, limited rush hour trains ran to Flatbush Avenue. This was discontinued on April 8, 1960.

From May 24, 1976 to 1980, midday trains terminated at Bowling Green.

Beginning July 10, 1983, all rush hour service ran to Flatbush Avenue, with limited service to/from Utica or New Lots Avenue.

On January 18, 1988, midday trains permanently terminated at Bowling Green.

In 1995, rush hour service to 241st Street was cut back to Nereid Avenue.

On May 27, 2005, use of the 5 diamond to indicate peak direction service to Nereid Avenue was discontinued.

On June 29, 2009, 5 trains were extended to Flatbush Avenue during midday hours.
