Grand Central-42 St★ Antoine’s favorite
ManhattanStep-free station
“My favorite ride. Take the 4 — it's the express, you'll fly right in.”Antoine
Grand Central Terminal — Opened in 1913. The green ceiling in the main concourse is a map of the winter night sky — painted backwards, which nobody has ever fixed. Find the Whispering Gallery outside the Oyster Bar: speak into a corner and someone across the arch hears you.

The 4splits into branches, so it doesn’t really run as one straight line. Every station it serves is listed here in order along the trunk, with the branches shown one after the other — a real trip takes one branch or the other, not both.
Lines and stations come from the MTA’s official GTFS feed and subway stations dataset, current through 09/07/2026. Rush-hour express variants (6X, 7X, FX) are folded into the local line they share, which already stops at every station on that trunk.
