I appreciate that, Dale! I love making things like the Battle Grid for
all of us. As always, feedback and suggestions for improvement are
appreciated.

Re: [Talk-us] Railroads and Railroads (Historic)

[Natfoot]

John,
As listed by James we have, railway=disused
 I would not encourage hiking or rail-biking any of these routes as they
are in question by the tag of disused and most of these are still going to
be private property.  Once abandoned it is no longer a railroad per-say.

The wiki suggests, and I have seen frequently used, railway=disused

I am mostly coming to ask about historic railroads and how to map them.
In my area we have lots of rail trails, these trails mostly have been 
mapped by

bicycle=yes
foot=yes
highway=cycleway
horse=yes
name=John Wayne Pioneer Trail
note=railway=abandoned indicates a rail-trail
old_railway_operator=Milwaukee
railway=abandoned
Ect..

Is this the way that we should be mapping these as there are historic 
attributes.

For instance we could add.
historic=ruins
ruins=railroad

or we could remove railway=abandoned
but in this case the railroad is rail banked and could be brought out 
of abandoned status.


We have other routes in the state that are not rail banked and are 
historic and are not seen as abandoned.

We probably need a value such as railway=inactive for routes that are 
not in use, but still have the rails in place.  The only problem is 
that, if someone erroneously tags an active but little-used route as 
inactive, this could lead to an accident if someone went hiking or 
rail-biking on the route.

Just a big thank you for all the work you put into these tools.  They make
finding and fixing problems hidden in plain sight a lot easier, and more
fun.

and we're back up. Sorry for the inconvenience. My total lack of
web server configuration skills finally caught up with me. We're good
now.

Also, MapRoulette is back to connectivity errors (of which, it turns
out, we have another fresh 20k to fix...) until we (yes, that's you :)
come up with something new. There's a fair amount of good ideas on the
wiki as well as on my blog, I just need to pick something that's easy
to implement while we continue our quest to get v2 out the door...

Meanwhile. Why not head to http://maproulette.org/ and fix a few!

[Talk-us] Railroads and Railroads (Historic)

[nathan proudfoot]

Hello got some questions about Railroads,
I have a passion for the preservation of railroads and the maps surrounding
them.  I both update current map data with a line per each track.  Track is
in most cases two rails attached by a sleeper or tie. I have over 10,000
edits over on GMM and under 4,000 with OSM.

I am mostly coming to ask about historic railroads and how to map them.
In my area we have lots of rail trails, these trails mostly have been
mapped by
bicycle=yes
foot=yes
highway=cycleway
horse=yes
name=John Wayne Pioneer Trail
note=railway=abandoned indicates a rail-trail
old_railway_operator=Milwaukee
railway=abandoned
Ect..

Is this the way that we should be mapping these as there are historic
attributes.
For instance we could add.
historic=ruins
ruins=railroad

or we could remove railway=abandoned
but in this case the railroad is rail banked and could be brought out of
abandoned status.

We have other routes in the state that are not rail banked and are historic
and are not seen as abandoned.

maybe in MD, but not here in upstate NY. i have an Averill Park zip code,
but am a mile or so outside of the Averill Park CDP.
