I recently added milepost data to the Northeast Corridor based on FRA GIS data. I only added mileposts every 5 miles to save time, though the original data source has them for every mile if needed.

Nach [1] wird das Umbenennen am 1/1/2021 wirksam. Sollte doch der alte Ortsname bis dahin bleiben?

The diagram in the wiki is helpful for tagging a simple above-ground railway station. Thanks for pointing out that the diagram is inadequate for underground stations. One of these days I'll get around to adding a tagging diagram for a complex underground station to the wiki.

The excavated areas containing indoor railway infrastructure would be considered underground buildings. They may contain many indoor areas and railway platforms inside them. Consider looking at other underground stations, such as Grand Central Terminal in NYC or the stations along the Market Street Subway in SF, on http://openlevelup.net/ to understand the tagging scheme involved.

Have you discussed with any other mappers what constitutes an underground building versus an underground indoor area? If this tagging scheme seems strange to you, perhaps you could bring it up on the tagging mailing list.

Hi,

How come you added railway=station and removed building=train_station from an underground building outline? There is already a railway=station node describing Millennium Station. Station buildings and stations are two different things.

As you can see, I replied to the update. You still haven't addressed why you are creating multiple alt accounts.

addr:city typically indicates the post office that is assigned to serve a particular address. Not every municipality has its own post office. In this case, Erie's post office seems to serve smaller neighboring municipalities.

You've been creating multiple alt accounts to avoid responding to other mappers. I don't think you're in a position to determine what is and isn't vandalism.

Hi Meng,

Do you have any evidence that this street name was incorrect? Correct names should not be deleted even if they seem to be profane to you.

This street name was added by someone who appears to have the surname Butt. Have you tried contacting him about the name of this street?

Hi there. Did you mean to add a new passenger train route to a short spur track in Arborfield? This relation contains only one way and has no tags other than type=route + route=train:

relation/11842874

Looks like you accidentally changed the relation for the BNSF Aurora Subdivision to route=train. This relation describes railway infrastructure, not a passenger train, so I reverted it to route=railway. Let me know if you have any questions.

I've driven on this highway. If I'm planning a route through the Eastern Sierras, it's helpful for me to know which parts are expressway-grade vs. two-lane road so I know where I'll have chances to pass slower vehicles.

Honestly dude, did you learn anything at all from the last time you got banned for doing this?

I concur with jmapb here. Public transit stops in the United States are commonly named after street corners. Occasionally they may be named after an address, a landmark, or a transportation hub. But I've never seen any system where stops are named after the routes that stop there.

Please put information on routes that stop there into the route_ref=* tag. The name=* tag is not the proper place for this. The nonstandard schema you've introduced makes it harder to keep route relations sorted and maintained, as many bus stops with previously unique names are now duplicates of each other. If you wish to see an OpenStreetMap renderer that highlights bus routes, I recommend you go to the Layers menu on the right and switch to Transport Map or ÖPNVKarte.

Fluffy has been making large-scale edits to reclassify roadways around the country, ignoring the local community. These edits are safe to revert. osm.org/user_blocks/3918

Hi there. I reverted this changeset because it created a gap in the boundary between Wayne and Union Counties. Please be careful in the future not to accidentally change an administrative boundary when you're trying to edit something else.

This was a while ago, I don't even remember. I'm cool if you reclassify it.

Hi Andy. As I was reviewing Metra stations to repair stop positions and get things back to a working state, I noticed details were added in the same changesets where the stop positions were deleted. While some of the information was added in good faith and was useful, much of it was complaints about other mappers' opinions. Many of the stop positions that remained undeleted were given a fixme=* or note=* complaining that it was fake. I had a hard time sifting through the good and the bad, and in the interest of adding stop positions back and keeping tags free of interpersonal drama, I reverted them.

I appreciate attempts to add more detail to train stations, especially as public transit mapping and railway mapping in the United States have been gaining ground lately. I invite the author of the changesets complaining about and deleting my work to respectfully join in on the discussion as we continue to develop a tagging scheme for stop positions. He's clearly interested in improving railway data and I feel he could use some guidance from the community. I just wish he wouldn't be so hostile to everyone who bumps into him.

Manual. I'm using aerial imagery and doing a little internet research to determine whether places tagged as railway=station are actually disused, as well as creating station nodes wherever railway=station is erroneously tagged on a building (should usually be retagged building=train_station).

Feel free to survey the stop positions and add them. This is valuable information and people would definitely appreciate it if you could add it in.

If you don't feel like doing this work, that's fine—just leave the stop_position nodes as they are and move on to mapping something else.
