Construction Of Big Inch Pipeline

The video discusses the construction and expansion of a new fuel oil pipeline starting in Norris City, Illinois, and extending from Longview, Texas. Initially, oil is transported by rail to the Atlantic coast, but the pipeline will soon extend to Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, and further to the eastern seaboard. The pipeline aims to deliver up to 120,000 barrels of oil daily, addressing the East's fuel shortage. Construction involves significant challenges, such as cutting through mountainsides, and is expected to be completed by midsummer.
