Bedford Park Boulevard–Lehman College (formerly Bedford Park Boulevard–200th Street) is a local station on the IRT Jerome Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Bedford Park Boulevard (formerly 200th Street) and Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, it is served by the 4 train at all times.
The station has three tracks and two side platforms. The middle track is generally not used in revenue service. Bedford Park Boulevard–200th Street station was originally built on April 15, 1918 as part of the final extension of the IRT Jerome Avenue Line to Woodlawn.
The Jerome Yard/Concourse Yard complex is located on the west of the station. The track connections to Jerome Yard are at the north end. Concourse Yard has a single track connected to the southbound local; south of the station. The Concourse Yard serves as one of the few interconnections between the IRT and IND divisions.
This station was renovated in the Summer–Fall 2006. During this time, the street level mezzanine area and the platforms were renovated. The platforms had yellow tactile edge warning strips installed, and the IRT directional tablets inside fare control have been preserved. Until the 2006 renovation, the downtown platform had several old small 200 signs behind a chain-link fence toward the front of the platform; however, they were removed.
It was also, until renovations in 2006, the only station in the entire subway system and along the IRT Jerome Avenue Line to have a barbed wire fence to be added to the Manhattan bound platform; this was added in an earlier renovation from the 80s that was meant to repair the New York City Subway stations and to prevent graffiti artists from tagging the 4 train, which has its home in the Mosholu Yard; the barbed wire fence was completely removed from the Manhattan bound platform during renovations.
