Prototype photo source

[nachoman]

I know this subject has come up before, maybe over at Z, but anyone know of good sites to get prototype photos to use as weathering examples?

Kevin, here is a link to my freight car pictures, some show the weathering quite well. Another proto site is the fallen flags railroad site.

Edit: Kevin, you already posted the link to Railcarphotos.com while I was getting my links together. Railcarphotos is s fantastic source for pics and it gave me a lot of inspiration for weathering cars.
