It is nice that a railway operator wants to "be on the map". :-) If you import data which only a small community is interested in (e.g. railway or power data), you should get in touch with that community beforehand. That's why I ask to post your desire/plans on the OpenRailwayMap mailing list. http://lists.openrailwaymap.org/lists/listinfo/openrailwaymap (Don't forget to subscribe the list before posting) I don't know if there are active railway mappers in Australia. If there are any, you will reach them via the OpenRailwayMap mailing list. It is not easy to do a full import of railway instructure data. There is a clear and well documented tagging schema for everything except signals. The signal tagging is country-specific because every country/railway operator has its own signalling rules. The is a rough frame (you could call it an abstract tagging scheme) which describes which keys to use and which patterns the values should follow. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging/Signal An example of a country-specific tagging scheme is the German tagging scheme for signals in Germany: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging_in_Germany Best regards from Germany Michael -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt.
