The spur DID NOT go to Roosevelt Raceway. It serviced some freight customers along the route and the spur was not electrified.
The northern-most part of the spur did encroach on Roosevelt Field at one point from what I can determine from my maps.
The Roosevelt Raceway station was called "Meadowbrook-Roosevelt Raceway" and was on the Central extension, being relocated from its original position further east around 1939.
It was an "island" station with low platform located in between both tracks. It was located just east of Selfridge and just west of Endo.
The old Mitchell Field station was located just WEST of Selfridge on the north side of the tracks.
