 At the Pipeline visitor Center 9 miles north of Fairbanks, AK. These are examples of the "pigs" that are used to clean the inside of the pipeline. This "pig" is a newer version and the one on the right is a "retired" older "pig". Note the information panels that are located just below which explain more about the use of these cleaning devices. The visitor Center is open from May to September and has interpretive displays, gift shop, and free informational brochures. It is an excellent location to take photos of the pipeline and to get close to the pipeline. The pipeline visitor center is located at mile 449.6 of the Alaska Pipeline. |
