I thought I had preemptively answered that : On 09/09/2015, moltonel 3x Combo <molto...@gmail.com> wrote: > When stuff have been contructed over the former railroad like this, > there's no need for a local survey to see that nothing is left.

The line is going through multiple buildings and a wide low wall. That's as unambiguous as it gets. The lack of any other sign on the grass and highway areas are an additional good hint. If you're mapping a railroad here, you're mapping the past. Or are you saying that the imagery might be too old, the railway could have been restored since ? The imagery was taken around the same time as the first changeset, and the changeset sources either say nothing, or bing, or osm wiki (!). Talking about past features, tagging gauge=* on a railway=abandoned way (which by definition does not have any tracks left) should be an impossible combination. Tagging electrified=* is also a funny idea. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
