Mt Major Brook trail

Hiked Mt Major this morning. Took the Brook trail down. At about the halfway point to left of trail about 50 ft into the woods I see an old oil tank. The kind you would have in your basement. A large tank that would hold hundreds of gallons and must weigh quite a bit. I have never noticed it before but have never hiked this late in fall so the lack of leaves brought it into view. I always bring a little bag with me and pick up any trash I come across. Sorry but couldn't fit this into my bag. Question-How and why would something like that be in that spot?
