Hi,
The markers were installed by the railway, and are maintained by the
railway. They are pole numbers attached to each telegraph pole along the
railway. To help emergency services locate points along the railway
Puffing Billy provided their location to ESTA with the "PBM" prefix.
As the railway created and maintains them I assume they are allowed to
give permission for others to use them.
Regards,
Kim

If not they might be sharing a dataset with you that they don't have
permission to share for this purpose?

Maybe just create a simple page on the wiki describing what you
intent to do along with a link to information about the received
permission? Just to make it easier to find in the future if there
are any concerns.

That sounds fine to me, this email consulting with the community,
informing of your plan and what steps you've taken is enough in my
opinion.
I would ask if you could share more information about the
permission you obtained? So long as you have sufficient rights to
submit the data under the OSM contributor terms.

Hi,
I have a list of 200 emergency marker locations along 22km of the
Puffing Billy Railway which were provided to me by the railway
with
permission to include them in OSM.
I've been reading through
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import> -
most of which appears to be geared toward larger imports and
using
publicly available data with various licenses. The data for my
import is
not publicly available, and was provided to me when I asked to
import it
into OSM.
I've searched overpass-turbo and there are no
highway=emergency_access_points, name~"PBM", or ref~"PBM" near
the list
of nodes I have to import. This indicates that none of the
nodes are
already mapped.
Based on the example file on
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM_file_format
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM_file_format> I've
converted the
emergency marker list into xml, the start of which looks like:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<osm version="0.6">
<node id="-3" lat="-37.907468" lon="145.36039">
<tag k="ref" v="PBM003"/>
<tag k="highway" v="emergency_access_point"/>
</node>
...
In JOSM I can import this file and merge the layer. I'm
intending to
then upload this with appropriate an comment noting that the
data was
provided by Puffing Billy Railway with permission to include
it in OSM.
I'm proposing to import this as a one off, single change set
under my
existing OSM username.
Is this a reasonable way to do this import? Is there anything
else I
should do?
Regards,
Kim
