Eleven hundred and sixty-eight miles of the "Little Big Inch" from Baytown, Texas, to Moundsville, West Virginia, is being reconverted from natural gas transmission to the original service for which it was built. This portion of the line is to become part of a 1700-mile system that will include a 230-mile (14-inch) lateral from Seymour, Indiana, to Chicago, now nearing completion. The new "Little Big Inch" system will be the longest large diameter common carrier of petroleum products in the United States.

It will connect the world's largest refining capacity (refineries in the Gulf Coast, East Texas, North Louisiana, South Arkansas and Mid-Continent areas) with markets in 13 Midwestern and Southern states. The "Little Big Inch" system will deliver all grades of aviation -and motor gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, diesel and jet engine fuels, and liquefied butane and do it regularly, on schedule regardless of weather, and at a substantial saving over other transportation methods. New facilities will assure continuing deliveries of supplies of natural gas to all of Texas Eastern's customers who are presently being served through the "Little Big Inch" pipeline system. In addition, new construction will increase the delivery capacity of Texas Eastern's 5900-mile natural gas transmission system to over 1,744,000,000 cubic feet per day by year end.
