4 was the number assigned to two distinct streetcar lines operated by the Los Angeles Railway in Los Angeles, California.
History[edit]
1931 alignment[edit]
4 was first assigned to a short turn service of the 3 Line. This operated from 1931 to 1935 when all operations along the route reverted to 3 Line service.[1]
1939 alignment[edit]
The number was later assigned to the Boyle Street Shuttle (previously line 31[2]) beginning May 19, 1939.[3] This service was short lived and ceased in October 1941.[1]
