Alaska's Oil Pipeline
Alaska (AK), Continental Chrome PM 1976 May-19
Description:
The discovery of oil on Alaska's North Slope was made in March 1968 at Prudhoe Bay. In August of the same year the first feasability studies on a proposed Alaskan Pipeline were begun. In September 1969, the State of Alaska held a lease sale of Prudhoe Bay and a record 900 million dollars was collected form those companies winning the lease. To assure the safety of Alaska's wildlife and permafrost ecology, the pipeline will be alternately buried and elevated, depending on the varying soil conditions along its route. Temperature vary greatly from as much as its route. Temperatures vary greatly from as much as 100 degrees F in summer to more than -75 degrees F in the dead winter. The Alaskan Pipeline will take three years to build and cost in the neighborhood of 4 billion dollars. It is the most costly project ever undertaken by private enterprise.

Description:
SUPERLATIVE FEATURES 1929 Model Alaska Street Car (Skagway, Alaska) A sight-seeing street car that makes regular trips to all historic and scenic points of interest, which needs no tract and the operator's aim is to give service. THE CUB BEAR has incandescent eyes and holds a beacon light in his front right paw and at the slightest sigh of danger the lights glow and he opens his mouth and gives out a growl of warning. THE LITTLE MAN in front of the car is operated by a foot pedal. He wags his head, waves a flag, rings a bell with his left foot, and the exhaust comes out through the cigarette in his mouth. Tell him where you wish to go and he will attend to all the details of getting you there and bringing you back.
