Hello everyone,
A little off-topic on a Sunday Mapternoon :) I've been asked a few times; and was curious myself, but any local knowledge folks - please correct me if I'm wrong. However, it does appear that the Labasa Cane Train is operating, at least at the time of the imagery. If you look at the Labasa Sugar Mill (just on the east edge of town), you can actually see the sugar cane wagons. I also think I found a caboose loaded up off to the northeast. It's really interesting because this is (I think - not an RR expert - at all) the 'narrowest of all gauges' when it comes to locomotives, which makes it incredibly hard to see in imagery. Anyway, after looking at the pictures here: http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_in_Fiji I was totally looking at those full wagons on the tracks thinking - what the heck is that - well, now you know :) On a mapping tip note - there are many sections where the train track is 'in the road'/shared way - in that case, just tag the segment with both highway=* and railway=narrow_gauge Happy Mapping! =Russ Russell Deffner russell.deff...@hotosm.org Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) http://hotosm.org <http://hotosm.org/>
