The map on that page was only used to link railway line numbers to their respective railways. Please have a look at the various linked documents which provide the detailed information about the railway lines, further on the page. The information in these tables was used to add tags in OSM. Looking at public factual information and using this information to enhance a project like OSM is very far away from copyright infringement, afaik.

Another example is looking at so called cab ride videos (videos that are shot from the perspective of the train driver). While these videos might be copyrighted, deriving factual information like wayside signs from these videos is no copyright infringement.

To provide a counter example: importing GIS information from a track operator’s databases in to OSM, without asking them, would be copyright infringement

Hello, the correct source should be
https://www.zsr.sk/dopravcovia/infrastruktura/tabulky-tratovych-pomerov/
This is public information, so I don’t see why you see a problem there.

About the relations: that was indeed a mistake. I’ll be more careful

Voor zover ik kan zien heb je in deze changeset de naam van de polder verwijderd. Was dat bewust?

Oh cool! Didn’t know about those yet @M!dgard. Thx. Also cheers @joost for the help.

Hello Joost,
The big circles are circles with a known radius, that I import during edits. I use them to determine the curve radius of railway tracks, and delete them before I commit the changeset. It seems I forgot deleting them here. Do you need any help with removing them?

Hi!
From my own experience of working in the railway sector, I recognized a maintenance vehicle access point here. These locations are used to drive to with a road-rail vehicle, manoeuvre the vehicle above the track, change to train wheels, and drive on on the train wheels. This feature is something which has no specific tagging in OSM yet, so I tagged it as the next closest thing. All vehicles that reach this node use it as a turning circle, so there you have it: I think it makes sense.

Sorry for the mistake. I now added a polygon of retaining walls, to show the difference. Thanks for the info

Iets verderop weet ik vrij zeker dat het wél ontspoorinrichtingen waren. Dat waren namelijk geen ontspoorblokken, maar ontspoortongen. Voorbeeldje op http://www.railgoed.nl/mediapool/75/756988/resources/big_17164983_0_700-464.jpg

Ah, dan zal het de assenteller geweest zijn. Mij bad. Ik dacht dat het een apparaat was zoals op https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontspoorinrichting#/media/Bestand%3AGleissperre_IMGP8216.jpg
Daar leek het ook een logische locatie voor, maar dat is natuurlijk tegelijk een logische locatie voor een assenteller.

Great changeset! I was just about to fix the 25 km/h I added earlier, but this is so much better.

Youtube cab ride van een Thalys Parijs-Amsterdam. Maar prima, dan maak ik er 40 van. Sorry voor de fout

Why was this import illegal? Is there any way to make it legal?

Alright then. I'll ask the OpenRailwayMap community to provide you with the answers you seek.

Because that community came up with this tagging convention. Why blame me personally for that? Why not solve the concern you have at its root?

This discussion is now going quite beyond of the changeset. I propose you send an email to [email protected] with your concerns.

First, you estimate that this is tagging for the renderer and you ask for documentation. The elaborate tagging of railways can be found at osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging which is maintained by the OpenRailwayMap community and provided with feedback by other people from the OSM community. If you disagree with a tagging convention on the osm wiki, feel free to propose a new one.

Second, you note that information is outdated: every changeset in this project in Belgium has a source specified; like the Infrabel network statement. If information is outdated, feel free to update it.

Note that this practise is also present in: the Netherlands, France, the UK, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and the Balkan countries. It's not a random tag pollution in Belgium

In this area, tracks are changed relatively often. I always use URBIS 2019 (or in general: the most recent URBIS imagery) in the Brussels area. If this results in errors and you have local knowledge that can fix them, feel free to either let me know which specific tracks are wrong so I can fix them or to correct them yourself

The tags railway:lzb=no and railway:pzb=no are the current tag combination that OpenRailwayMap uses to describe lines without train protection. The result of this, is a precise map of Belgiums TBL system https://www.openrailwaymap.org/?lang=null&lat=50.89263913111063&lon=4.546966552734374&zoom=9&style=signals
