Well that proved to be a very tedious job. After reviewing hundreds of 
these about 240 of them have been converted to "no longer a station". 
Which leaves about 300 active stations in QLD.


It seems that a guy in the UK has made it their life's work to list 
every railway stop that ever existed...and another's to add them to OSM.


This is what guys in the UK do!  Thanks for sorting it out.  /Mike

[talk-au] Queensland railway stations

2022-04-04 Thread Richard Fairhurst
Hi folks,

There appear to be a _lot_ of bogus rail stations on the map in Queensland:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=11/-21.0650/148.8397=T
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/-23.5706/150.1838=T

I think these are historic halts that haven't had service for many years but 
have mistakenly been added. They mostly seem to have been mapped by TheOldMiner 
who hasn't been active for four years.

Any rail enthusiasts or Queenslanders on this list who fancy cleaning them up?

cheers
Richard
