[talk-au] Railway in Sydney .. tagged light_rail

2014-12-11 Thread Warin

Hi,

I've noticed that the main north line railway line in Sydney is tagged 
railway=light_rail .. that does not make sense to me.


It is of the standard gauge for Australia and carries freight! .. so 
should be tagged railway=rail?

I'm not including lines of less than standard gauge, or those not 
capable of carrying freight. Just the normal train lines in Sydney.

Hi,
Found it .. it is in the route relation !

route=rail would be more appropriate?
rather than route=light_rail ?

Don't know thence the question.
