Dave and guymonmd - thanks for responding. Actually. what at first glance looks like it might be a truck, is really a small cabin. There is another view of this cabin to the left of 493, seen more clearly in the snow.
And here is a closer look. I don't know if this cabin still exists. If it does, it may be hidden by trees that have grownup in the last 50+ years. As for trucks - they certainly have the advantage of avoiding many costs that railroads have to deal with.
