I planted 6 tomato plants this year. 2 of them were doing fine then suddenly starting rusting/browning and wilting. I pulled them and replanted. the remaining 4 were doing fantastic, growing...setting fruit. Suddenly another one sarted doing the same. I have checked for bugs and have not seen any. Any Ideas? I am attaching pics

Tomatoes are susceptible to a wide variety of problems, many which can look similar. I would suggest you review the following fact sheets to determine what might be the cause.

EPP-7625 Common Diseases of Tomatoes: Part I Diseases Caused by Fungi 
EPP-7626 Common Diseases of Tomatoes, Part 2: Diseases Caused by Bacteria, Viruses, and Nematodes 
EPP-7627 Common Diseases of Tomatoes, Part 3: Non-Infectious Diseases
