my rule of thumb for ghost tracks is that if there is a physical trace of the track, it can go in OSM with appropriate tagging. as soon as a track gets turned into a housing development and disappears, it can move to OHM. most of the proponents of keeping abandoned railways in OSM are operating on the theory of physical evidence. richard -- [email protected] Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search
