in the chicago area we have 3 railway company’s operating the system, and one had signs left up from the old days which in watching the train come into the stations platform did not stop at the sign based on the number of cars + the diesel engines or engines. which could be 5, 6, 7, or 8 cars, we stop at 8 here. 1 or 2 engines. to that end a california editor tagged all 200+ stations with the stop tag that is 400 + unverified platforms. i would say more but you people do not like that. with no checks and balances, editorial board etc. they will stay there forever. >Sunday, August 9, 2020 9:40 AM -05:00 from Alexey Zakharenkov < >a-z...@yandex.ru >: > >As a person who have been monitoring and fixing rapid transit networks >(primarity subways) for long I can say that railway stop_positions make more >headache than advantage.

WRT mapping the stop position I agree that adding them all would make sense. For the connection relation I believe it is not manageable to record and maintain this level of detail, and the practical gain is very limited because of dynamic variations in every day operations (might vary according to the railway company, maybe somewhere this is more stable).
