Re: [Talk-us] Railway crossing challenge for MapRoulette
You might want to remove the NY FRA data from the challenge. I've already gone through that dataset and added everything that was still being used as a crossing. Save people from looking at data that is all correct (modulo my misteaks, of course). -russ Martijn van Exel writes: > Okay, thanks, I’ve been preferring level_crossing myself. > > I will publish the ~90k tasks shortly!

It includes everything but 1) the kitchen sink, and 2) whether the railroad has been abandoned already. :-) The majority of the crossings that I looked at were for driveway or farm crossings. I added the ones that look like they still existed, with blocking in the gauge and/or wheel tracks going up to the crossing. -- --my blog is athttp://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
