Pipeline systems engineered to move liquid or gas cargo, chiefly oil and gas, across long distances overland, a transport mode distinct from road, rail, maritime and air movement. Belongs here: any named pipeline system of historical or engineering significance; this bucket starts with one live entry and is expected to grow as the atlas widens toward comprehensive real-world pipeline coverage. Does not belong here: the tankers or trucks that move the same cargo by other modes, tracked as vehicle entities.
