If 'dismantled' is meant to be used for cases like going thru buildings in a housing estate then no, this data just doesn't belong in OSM. > moltonel 3x Combo writes: > > To me the distinguishing criteria between disused and abandoned is > > wether the rails are still present or not. > > Indeed. disused means the rails are still there.

Some people have mentioned cases where the rails are still there but trees are growing in the middle so it really should be 'abandoned' and/or there should be a value between 'abandoned' and 'disused'. From what you said earlyer, maybe 'dismantled' is the new 'abandoned' and 'abandoned' sits somewhere between 'dismantled' and 'disused' ? Maybe you could give the wiki some TLC. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
