Steve,
I agree with Charlotte, In Oklahoma I am seeing a lot of different names
on one rail road line like Charlotte is talking about.

Thanks to Michael for a great find and to you for trying to make it
usable in OSM. It will be interesting to see what comes out of it.
Sounds like we should hold off on any wiki work for a while. There
is much data to examine, and I'm already doing stuff for HOT.

For instance, why does the BNSF line across Arizona and into

Hi Charlotte (and talk-us, and apologies for the length of this):

It is complicated. The owner= tag is for the actual landowner of the
railroad.
Steve,
Thanks for sparking my interest here. I had started working on some rail
segments around my home town of Plymouth, NC, but after reading your original
message I went back and completed those and verified other segments along the
branch including those around the state port in Morehead

I'm not sure why you think this is waste of time, but I appreciate

If you are finding PCIX those are the call letters for the railroad that
is the owner, they may also be the operator.
Now here is the tricky bit, I will use the example of a local short line

Hey guys,
Some words of support and complication. The usage=main is a problem, and
here is why: What people consider to be main line can not and will not be
known by looking at it in real life nor specified by whether or not it has
passenger service on it. As such you can also have main line

I am working on what I can. Would like to have some discussion on proper
tuning of relations. Many of these open railway map tags are new to me.
