Baltimore sparse? Let's see: 4 major rail yards (Bayview NS & Bayside CSX, Jessup CSX, Curtis Bay CSX), 5 railroads, major Amtrak station, at least 6 minor yards (Canton/PannMary, Mt. Clare A,B,C,&D, Mt. Winans, Amtrak Penn Yard, Greys Yard). One large museum, and 2 small. CSX Old Main Line, CSX Philly Sub, CSX Washington Sub, Amtrak NEC shared by NS, a belt line, MARC a booming commuter operation, light rail (double tracking program underway), Baltimore Subway, Canton RR line & Coal Pier. Baltimore Marine Terminal, Seagert Marine terminal. Patapsco & Back River RR. And that's just the city proper; there's more to see in the surrounding area: NS Port Road, CSX Brunswick Yard, Harpers Ferry, Maryland Midland RR, etc. Sparse indeed! Nor would I call Philadelphia "freight starved." Have you ever been to these places, or read any recent stats? And Mexico isn't much more risky than any givin American city; like anything, the risk rises and falls depending on how much homework is done beforehand. Hundreds of thousands of elderly Aericans have retired to Mexico in order to max out their pension money; if they can do it, I imagine a younger railfan could go there and live to tell the tale; I know I did. Baltimore, Philly, and D.C. aren't the railroad towns they once were, very few places are, but we do see a train or two every now and then.
