A turnout on the highway on the way to the Dredge. The pipeline is really cool. It's a long stretch above ground. The actual pipe for the oils is only 48" in diameter. The pipeline is much bigger because it includes insulation and allows for movement of the pipe as the air temperature changes. The "shoes" are just sitting on the uprights and can expand and contract as the pipe gets hot and cold. The things that look like antenna are also used for regulating the temperature of the parts in the permafrost.
This is a display to show the size of the oil pipe.
