Digital scan of a sepia-toned photo taken overlooking the excavation for the approach to the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel at the Detroit terminal, as taken from a point above Atwater Street facing north. A steam shovel is digging near the top center of the frame, as a truck, pulled by a winch, hauls away dirt up and around the curved incline leading from the approach. Four figures watch from behind a barricade at the lower left. "Detroit & Canada Tunnel - Section 5; Construction Work in Terminal Bock, View from West - #3 of 3; Feb 15, 1929, 8B-33," was handwritten on the verso.
