Scrapyard

Scrapyard is, quite literally, a junkyard in the Capital Wasteland.

Location
It is located south of Minefield or northeast of Vault 101, past the Potomac River. Specifically from Vault 101, on the map, it is 4 squares north and 3 squares east almost exactly. Looping along the south side of Scrapyard is an elevated railway which, along with bordering roads, puts Scrapyard in a makeshift depression. Even further south is simply geography sloping downwards into the river basin. The Scrapyard can be entered through several breaches in the southwest, west, or north sides or through multiple gates on the south side.

Overview
When initially entering Scrapyard, Dogmeat, a possible companion, can be found fighting Raiders towards the northeastern corner. You will hear gunfire as you near this location. There will be at least 3 Raiders that Dogmeat is fighting, as well as a dead Scavenger, presumably Dogmeat's former owner.

Once you take the Contract Killer Perk you can enter the Scrapyard Office. Inside you will meet Daniel Littlehorn who will buy any ears you collect while you have the perk.

Scrapyard has several radioactive pools that can easily be avoided and a myriad of vehicles to crawl around on, but appears to be empty of any particularly useful items. There is a locked shed in the scrapyard that requires a key to open. As desolate and quiet as the Scrapyard is, it is highly recommended not to do any sort of combat or weapons testing here. There are cars that will make almost the entire scrapyard a fireworks show. Pyromaniacs are advised to keep their distance when firing on the cars.

Unmarked quest: John's Treasure Box
Scrapyard is also the final location of an Unmarked Quest, John's Treasure Box, which is a "safe" in the top northwestern corner containing three skill books. Look for the big red train car to the right of a radiation cesspool. Touching the red car's southern tip is a bus/train car that is cut in two. Enter the bus and look for two stairs facing south which exit the bus doorway. On the floor is John's Treasure Box. It resembles an ammunition box and is locked (hard). Inside are copies of:
 * Grognak the Barbarian
 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes
 * Guns and Bullets

The key for John's Treasure Box can only be obtained off a Wastelander who you'll find being attacked by Vicious Dogs during a random encounter anywhere in the Capital Wasteland. The Wastelander will also have a Wastelander Note with instructions which lead you to the Scrapyard and John's Treasure Box.

Appearances
Scrapyard appears only in Fallout 3

Bugs
If Fawkes is taken into the scrapyard he may become stuck in the wreck of a bus upon leaving the scrapyard. This can be avoided by telling him to wait outside or shooting him, causing him to leave your party. Fawkes can also become stuck between two cars.(this is very hard to do). The result is that Fawkes will thrash around,and eventually cause him to shoot up into the air and die upon hitting the ground. It is unknown if this bug affects the players karma. However, this bug is rare.
