It was a strange sight to see Standards on the IND Queens Line, but I saw many, and I think I actually rode one set once.

The 4th Avenue Local operated 7-car trains during peak hours. But there were no 7-car station markers at the stations (IND never ran trains consisting of an odd number of cars back in those days, except on the AA, where it would sometimes operate 3-car trains on Sundays), so the TA had to raid the IRT for IRT-style 7-car markers, which were hung where 8 cars would stop. These remained long after the Standards vanished from the Queens Line.
