Frankentank

Looks like an industrial boiler left next to the train tracks, colorfully painted to resemble one goofy Frankenstein's monster erupting, alien-like, from another one. Ew!

Frankentank was underwhelming. My 13 year old granddaughter didn't even get out of the car.

Graffiti work of artist Johab Silva. We first stumbled upon and nicknamed FNT in 2009, when his exterior was less disrespected by vandals and weather. Perhaps it's time to search for the petulant Bride of Frankentank.

I took a bunch of photos of Frankentank today.

He's grown a little rusty since last we saw him, but like his monster namesake, Frankentank is a survivor.

Cool piece of art! Not something you'd expect to find in Pendleton, which is a small town surrounded by rolling plains.
