Which is perhaps 0.1% of the (largely rural) abandoned railroads mapped in

Absolutely fantastic, awesome tool. What a triumph!
Thank you Frédéric: I salute your efforts and am
now exploring Osmose's depths and interface. Yay!

Up to now OSM has drawn the line in such a way that stuff that is

Yes, all of that is fair game. Though I don't know what the GR
issue is, and ask you

C'mon, let's not conflate the renderings with OSM.
I can understand if someone deletes a railway by hitting the wrong

I don't have time to wade into the controversy, but +1 to Russ's
comments. Old railroad grades really are features. The USGS shows
them on topos, and they're often really obvious.
More seriously, a wave of deletionism is really bad for the project in

April Fools! Yes, you can. There are many kinds of public domain maps
whose republication needs no license. For example, in the US all maps
published before the magic date, whatever year it is we're up to

Hi everybody!
Let's tone down this thread a bit and bring it back on topic.
