On this day 65 years ago ...

The original Trans-Mountain Oil Pipeline 

from Edmonton, Alberta 

to Vancouver, British Columbia 

was completed on October 15, 1953.

(according to a library book I am currently studying:  

Fitzhenry and Whiteside book of Canadian facts and dates)

And according to Wikipedia,

Oil started pumping 2 days later

on October 17, 1953.

And now...
