I had not realized the Big Inch and Little Big Inch were still in use. This would even further buttresses my contention that the transport by tank cars should be phased out, as the lifetime of a pipeline involved is far greater than that of a common carrier of only limited size, moving at the whim of the train as a whole.

Efficiency wins over egregious clinging to old technology every time it is tried.
