Mr. Stash--
"Fisher Body" was not at Dutton Avenue. The Chevrolet Plant at 73rd Avenue built CARS.
The Chevrolet plant at 105th Ave & East 14th Street built TRUCKS.
The Stonehurst Branch used private right-of-way between the rear of the TRUCK plant and the old IER mainline at around 106th & Bancroft. The r-o-w ran between people's backyards between those two points. One of the industries served by the double track SP line on Bancroft was the General Electric light bulb plant at about 98th Ave & Bancroft.
