It seems that you missed > If it used to be rails and now its a trail, we should map it as a > trail. If it used to be rails and now its a bare embankment, we map > it as an embankment. in the quoted message. (situation A) currently there is a railway -> railway should be mapped (situation B) currently there is a trail and railway -> trail and railway should be mapped (situation C) currently there is a trail -> trail should be mapped (situation D) currently there is neither trail nor railway -> neither trail nor railway may be mapped What was situation in the past does not matter. Ian describes place that changed from situation A to situation C. Therefore currently only trail is mapped. The same applies to the second part: (situation A) currently there is a railway -> railway should be mapped (situation B) currently there is a railway on embankment -> embankment and railway should be mapped (situation C) currently there is a bare* embankment -> embankment should be mapped (situation D) currently there is neither railway nor embankment -> neither embankment nor railway may be mapped What was situation in the past does not matter. We are not mapping history (who, how and why constructed embankment). *bare embankment - without rail, railway signals etc. As I understand this conflict is about whatever embankment itself is "existing railroad". In my opinion not. Though I am not as strongly convinced as on topic whatever completely demolished railroad (former spur replaced by houses and supermarket) is mappable. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
