Agreed! That felt very productive and useful.
I've wondered if it wouldn't be worth getting a list together specifically
for CA/MX/US rail mappers, since we have so much more in common between the
three than we do different between the countries where rail is concerned.
Plus, I do get the sense that a large majority of the talk-US list may not
have much interest in the rail project, so it'd give us a place to work
through minutiae when it's not a question big enough (with any non-rail
effects) to trouble everyone else.
