I'll try it a different way with the IND's rollsign system. For example,
FULTON- EUCLID AVE, meant Euclid Ave station on the Fulton line (not the intersection of Fulton St & Euclid Ave); BROOKLYN- SMITH-9TH STREET and BROOKLYN- CHURCH AVE, meant those 2 stations on the Brooklyn section of- the Brooklyn- Queens line; CONCOURSE- 205th STREET, meant 205th St & Bainbridge Ave (not 205th St & the Concourse). HOUSTON- ESSEX referred to the shuttle that conected East Broadway and Delancey St to 2nd Ave and Houston Street. It ran between Jan 1st, 1936 until April 9th, 1936, when the Rutgers tunnel connected the line to Jay St, Brooklyn. There was never a Second system station planned for Essex Street ON Houston St and there were NEVER any Second System route signs on the IND!

I wish someone would post a picture of the Houston- Essex shuttle, with its route markers between East Broadway and 2nd Ave, or Broadway- Lafayette. It would be a rare photo, since it only ran from Jan 1st- April 9th, 1936.
