The landscape of western North Dakota is littered with structures like this. The painted circles add flair; perhaps they were part of the garage's logo. Most people drive about 80 mph; pickup trucks outnumber cars 4:1. The trains are very active in this part of the country, but tend to haul great quantities of a single homogenous cargo such as gas or grain. One train we passed had over 100 grain cars - each car exactly the same. Wide-load trucks and heavy agricultural equipment are common on these roads; one harvester we passed had to move into the ditch for every oncoming vehicle. It sounds a test every day at 12 noon; even a block away, the noise was ear-splitting.
