Went through that structure many time in the 1960's! Replaced in mid 1970's with the one that is there now.

My Mother crossed northbound in the 40s at TJ in the trunk of a car. She was in the USA legally (Norweigian) but forgot her papers southbound.

I'm very curious, what the border crossings from Canada to U.S.A. We're like at the same time. Any pictures?
