Digital scan of a black and white photo of centered around the "Tunnel to Canada" sign and the currency exchange building on of Bates Street, overlooking traffic backed up from the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel along Bates which runs along the right edge of the photo, and Atwater Street which runs horizontally in the background. A note which accompanied the photo read:

October 1, 1945
This photograph is a view showing the cars lined up on Bates Street and around the corner on Atwater blocked in Detroit by reason of insufficient inspection lanes in Windsor to clear the traffic, only four inspection lanes out of an available ten were operating.
