    Hey folks,

    Although I grew up around Baltimore, I've never really railfanned in this area - I've been up to Cumberland several times, but I wasn't really interested in chasing trains back when I lived here.

    I'm back in Baltimore for the holidays, and I'd like to spend a couple hours next week taking photos of CSX action - I really miss seeing CSX paint, now that I live out in Colorado. Can you guys recommend some good, easily accessible spots? I'm familiar with most of the stops along the MARC's Camden Line - should I try places like St. Denis, Savage, or maybe Bailey Wye down by the stadiums? I'd like to see the yard downtown, but I don't know what public access is like. I'd appreciate any tips you all could provide. Thanks a lot!

    Have a great holiday everyone!

    Dave,
    My railfanning in Baltimore wouldn't be the actual CSX! HA! I'd be headed to the old Mt. Clare shop museum! :D I never got to it and all and I want to.... One day I will.... But for railfanning the CSX territory down their I'm not so sure on it. I mean I'm not familar to the places and such in Baltimore of CSX.

    All in all..... If nothing else, make sure you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
