Steve I hope this finds you well,
I have a few questions.

Open Railway Map/ Tagging in North America
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging_in_North_America

Open Railway Map/ Work Rules in North America
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=OpenRailwayMap/Work_Rules_in_North_America

United States/ Railroads
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_States/Railroads

California/ Railroads/ Active
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/California/Railroads/Active

What sort of data are we presenting on our pages? Are we placing how to
map, how to tag, or data that could be useful to mapping? I would like to
create a separate page where data that could be useful in mapping could
live along with data source resources and tabular data. One of the thoughts
is instead of adding all this data to OSMs wiki, adding it instead to
wikidata or to another wiki.

The second thought is that we have some nicely laid out local state pages
on railroads but that fails to take into account the sub divisions and
railroads that cross state lines or provide interstate commerce, or
intercontinental commerce.   Could we do a better job of
identifying continental railroads, country railroads, etc.  This would make
it easier to identify than duplicating efforts on separate state pages and
provide resources in one place.

Your thoughts are appreciated. Additionally I will send another email about
the reform and specific tagging of signals in north america and county.

Best Regards,
Nathan P
