I understand your desire to sweep conflict under the rug, to pretend it doesn't exist, to think that we only map what "we" can see. But *I* see an abandoned railroad here. Let's all sing Kumbaya, hug, and get along. Which we CAN if people would only stop destroying what other people have done. Look at these two photos and tell me what you can see, what you can "verify": https://goo.gl/photos/G41ehgPJyfEWcvwH7 https://goo.gl/photos/FfgSS5bDMQ3XW7MX8 What's this? Is it a trail or is it an abandoned railroad? See the spike? Where did it come from if not the abandoned railroad? Or the lump of coal hundreds of miles from any coal field? It's not a track. It's an abandoned railroad that is being *used* as a track. I'm not asking anybody else to map it as an abandoned railroad. I'm asking people to respect MY tagging of it as an abandoned railroad. Because when I see a spike, or a lump of coal, or a "road" which is level where no road needed to be but a railroad did, I map it as an abandoned railroad. Don't destroy other people's mapping. Why is this not obvious?
