Ever since the Leduc oil strike of 1947, the crude has been flowing fast from oil wells in Alberta. To transport it to markets where it's needed, the 718-mile-long (1,150 km) Trans Mountain Pipeline was engineered and built. Workers blasted through rock, drained swampland and dug a tunnel under the Fraser River, before carefully welding, wrapping and laying down the sections of pipe. In this 1953 report from the CBC-TV program Newsmagazine, the almost $100 million pipeline is a good-news story for oil-hungry markets.
