Those are some impressive cars you have aggro jones, as are all the ones you have posted. I have had the opportunity to sit in the CSX yard parking lot while eating lunch and have seen many prototypes that don't look as real as yours. I did get to see a real rarity too, I'm not lying, I don't need glasses, I wasn't drinking or smoking my lunch either, but I really saw a hopper car blt in early 70's, apparent original paint, and no graphiti. No lying.

Nice, Dave. Here's a Reading box car I just picked up at Strasburg's used shop. I added metal wheels and a bit of weathering.

 An interesting idea would be for someone with a modern layout to do a coal train, with the cars very dirty, but with the area around the reflective striping totally clean.

 That spot in Jessup near the new bridge was even better when the new bridge wasn't there. That unloading area is where my Ford assembled in Mexico came in! I go there all the time. Try going down the road to Annapolis Junction (basically walking distance from the bridge but 10 minutes by car). When they're switching the auto racks in and out you can get great close-up shots of whichever car you wish. They usually go back and forth several times. AND you can cross over to the road on the other side and get the second side of the rack. Perfect place if you like auto racks. Also, there is an aggregate company there that uses an old Conrail engine and usually 5 or 6 CSX ballast hoppers too. I hope you know about St. Denis...THE railfan place in your area (Elkridge area). That's a story for a different thread but, once you start going to St. Denis, you'll never stop. I hit that place at least once a week. 

Jeff (MrKLUKE) 

I'm not sure on how close you can get to the tracks without getting kicked off, or getting yelled at. That trip was my first real railfaning trip. We also went to the yard office, and got some pictures of the caboose, and engines there here it is.

CSX caboose by you.

I kinda new to railfaning, so I'm not sure what I'm allowed to do. wait do you mean the road near the Waste management building, I went there Nice open clear area, to take some nice pictures?

I think hijacked the thread
