You might want to remove the NY FRA data from the challenge. I've
already gone through that dataset and added everything that was still
being used as a crossing. Save people from looking at data that is all
correct (modulo my misteaks, of course).

I do like this challenge concept, however, given TIGER's somewhat
lackluster modeling of railways, seems like a prerequisite challenge
would be to tiger-review it and get the tracks actually lining up
with reality first.
Hi Paul:
I completely agree that railways in OSM

I wouldn’t be surprised. It may make sense to add a ‘there is no crossing here’
button to MapRoulette for this challenge so that we can share that with the FRA
and they can weed out the stale data.

Great Topic,
Interesting that I have been doing my own research into this data set. I
can tell you without a doubt that some of the information is way out of
date or wrong. (http://fragis.frasafety.net/GISFRASafety/)
It is my understanding that railroads are supposed to report data like this

Martijn, thank you for this terrific contribution to improve OSM's
rail infrastructure in the USA!
BTW, while level_crossings display in its default/mapnik backdrop
layer only when closely zoomed in, OSM rail data in OpenRailwayMap

Hey Mike —
Crossings already present in OSM will not be excluded, but can be easily
skipped over. In most cases you can see them on the rendered map tiles so no
need for a round trip to the editor.

It’s based on FRA data, so it is US only. If anyone can furnish me with
crossing data for other countries, I am happy to get a challenge up for other
places as well. (crossposting to talk@ for that purpose)
