In my opinion these sould not be mapped as a railway when they became tracks or cycleways. When there is nothing left, nothing should be mapped. When there are railroads left, but no longer used (like some old military railroad in brasschaat, or the old railroad on de kaaien in Antwerp) they should (may) be mapped as abandoned. -- wannes _______________________________________________ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
