Along Highway 1806 this weekend I spotted this old truck on its side along the railroad tracks. How long it’s been in such a state, who can say? But it made a pretty nice photo opportunity. Its wheels have long gone missing, so it’s unlikely to be removed anytime soon. I guess it’s actually a pretty nice decoration, in a rural sort of way. Just as I’m intrigued by abandoned farm buildings, old vehicles like this really catch my attention as well.

One thing that’s nice about a relic like this being hidden in rural North Dakota is that people are less likely to pry parts off of it for eBay! Although I notice that the trim rings are gone and the hood is open. To investigate further would have meant hopping a fence line, and I didn’t have permission to be there. No worries, I was in perfect position to get the photos I wanted, and this is one of them.
