No, the QJ was eliminated altogether at the end of 1972. It went back to only "J" after. Extending the IND letter system to the BMT was problematic, since it was filled with routes which were both express and local on some part of it's run. The 1960 plan moved away from the simple single/double letter system in favor of other ideas. In 1967, it was further muddled by expanding it to include a route which shared two distinct lines (QJ for Brighton and Jamaica, RJ for 4th Ave. and Jamaica, etc). No wonder the whole system was abandoned in the 1980's.
