The OSM community is what OSM is even more than it is a map. People that
are passionate about railways are a part of that community and they do
contribute a lot, especially in the US where we don't have as many

Noam,
Out of curiosity...I imagine you folks investigated just using the OSM data
directly even if you have to give attribution? What made you decide to go

Is there any recommended way to deal with streets with no names? I don't
mean streets that have a name and we just haven't added that to OSM yet. I
