This is the rear end of a self-propelled McKeen Motor Car, very cool shot.

Thanks! This is been a fun story to unravel - info from others on the internet shows more detail:This car was a 55', 69 passenger motor car, built in 1909, and it was last known scheduled runs were in 1924, at Brooklyn, Cal. However, because this was taken in Oregon, the image dates back to '21-'23. (info from Martin E. Hansen Collection)
