On April 20 , 1952 , the route was extended full-time from the Far Rockaway station to Seagirt Boulevard , in order to serve the Wavecrest Gardens Apartments , and following the disruption of LIRR service between the Rockaway Peninsula and mainland Queens . At this time , the route was split into Route B ( Jamaica-Hook Creek ) and Route D ( Far Rockaway ) , in addition to the special Jamaica Racetrack service ( Route H ) . Around 1960 , Route D was renamed the Q113 , and Route B became the Q111 route between Jamaica and the intersection of New York Boulevard ( Brewer Boulevard ) and 147th Avenue . In July of that year , an extension of the Q111 was approved , creating its current routing in Rosedale and Nassau County . At some point after 1975 , the Q113 was rerouted from Rockaway Boulevard to Brookville Boulevard south of 147th Avenue . This was due to the crash of Eastern Air Lines Flight 66 on June 24 , 1975 , which shut down Rockaway Boulevard for some time ; the change to the Q113 route was made permanent around this time . On December 11 , 1988 , the travel path of the Q111 and Q113 in Downtown Jamaica was altered to serve the newly opened Jamaica Center – Parsons/Archer station
