[Talk-us] An amusing story of a GNIS entry
http://www.fuzzyworld3.com/3um/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3183 I suppose the question is whether OSM should have this place (assuming someone verifies that the sign is gone). Currently it does as part of the GNIS import: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/153418203/history ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

The simplest would be > something like rail_with_trail=yes or maybe railway=adjacent. Either of those would work. Between those two, I'm inclined toward railway=adjacent so the search would be something like "highway=(path|footway|cycleway) and railway=(abandoned|adjacent)". Another possibility would be to use rail_trail=yes, which would apply to any rail trail. It would be implied by a non-motor-vehicle highway= tag and railway=abandoned, but could always be specified to be unambiguous. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

A question about height and width. How do you determine those values? And what are columns? Right now I can't run the code, I'm missing some packages, but that should be easy enough to resolve. > > > ** ** > > I had a look at the area in JOSM and I can’t see much data that the > osm.xml style doesn’t render.

The building is gone. Much of what was an old military base is being converted in to natural habitat. I suspect it was pulled down about the same time that much of the housing was removed.
