 think it is doable.


Michael,
Thanks for the info!  You always can be counted on to find data, even if it
is obscure.

SteveA,
I'd be happy to convert the shapefile to an .osm file for importing. It
could be broken into smaller chunks to use the tasking manager. Maybe by
county. Someone needs to create a import page on the wiki and announce it
on the import mailing list.

Let me know what you think.

Clifford

Also good data can be retrieved from time tables, division maps, and track
diagrams.
