[OSM-talk-be] RailRoad
Hello, I'm using OSM a lot since two year, and I think is time to jump in and help making it even better. I saw that railroad for belgium is good, but not complete. I'm currently working at Infrabel and for my job, I have access to infrastructure database with a lot of information that could be usefull for OSM Of course, I will not give anything out without explicite acknowlgement from Infrabel. Could you give me more informations on which data could be ussefull for OSM. I could then see where I can get the information from and see how I can get the permission from Infrabel to publish those! Also, if some persoon already have contact with people in Infrabel, it could be usefull that I contact then. Hoping I will be able to help.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] RailRoad
That would be great! The information we could use is primarily the locations of railway stations and the exact traces of railways. Also exact traces within big railway stations might be handy... Gpx files would be easiest, but SHP files or some other GIS data format is also feasable. It's nice to have some-one asking the information from the inside. I wish we had some-one like for de lijn, Tec etc Kenny 2010/1/14 Loïc Froidmont lfroi...@gmail.com Hello, I'm using OSM a lot since two year, and I think is time to jump in and help making it even better.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] RailRoad
It might also be interesting to follow up changes. Frequently minor railway crossings are removed, sometimes new parallel roads are constructed to a nearby crossing. As this happens most often on the smallest, rarely used crossings they might stay unnoticed by mappers, even if they are published in the 'staatsblad' that everyone is supposed to read every morning at breakfast...

Re: [OSM-talk-be] RailRoad
Orwall had a dataset with all railway lines at one point (see wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Railways#Potential_datasets), but seems to have disappeared. It might be useful to follow-up on that. As said, a file with all railroads would be a good start. Stations, level crossings, etc. would also be useful, but I assume less critical.
