[Talk-us] Work on Arizona rail lines deleted
Dear US folks, I did a lot of work on the railroad that parallels I-40 across Arizona, from Gallup, N.M., to Flagstaff, Ariz. There are two parallel tracks with different names, but OSM had only one of those tracks. I added the second rail way and numerous side tracks, following the Bing imagery. It was hours and hours of work. Now someone has deleted most of the second line without contacting me or discussing the issue on the mail list. Anyone know anything about this?

Re: [Talk-us] Work on Arizona rail lines deleted
Can you please give a link to a specific location where your work was deleted? I found one location where one of the lines ends but using the Potlatch 1 undelete feature I'm not seeing any deleted ways in the area: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.017245lon=-109.728267zoom=18layers=M Also, one of the lines seems to be tagged as a spur which doesn't seem right. Might just be bad TIGER tags though. I know there were all kinds of problems with spurs in the import.

Can you be more specific? The places I looked had your rail and another unnamed one. BTW, if I don't have the names, or don't care to name them separately, I add tracks=n (where n is the number of tracks) to a single way to indicate multiple parallel tracks, and position the way in the middle. Same applies to yards if I don't feel like drawing umpteen parallel ways. I run a single way roughly through the middle and add tracks=a;b;c, where a in the number of tracks going into the yard, b is the maximum number of tracks wide in the yard, and c is the number of tracks going back out (in the direction of the way). I then use a landuse=railway closed way to surround the yard. -- Alan Mintz alan_mintz+...@earthlink.net ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

There are two parallel tracks with different names, Not sure what you mean by this. The Gallup Subdivision (Belen-East Winslow) and Seligman Subdivision (East Winslow-Needles) both operate (at least east of Seligman) using centralized traffic control on 2+ main tracks. but OSM had only one of those tracks. I added the second rail way and numerous side tracks, following the Bing imagery. It was hours and hours of work. Now someone has deleted most of the second line without contacting me or discussing the issue on the mail list. Anyone know anything about this? I assume you're talking about east of Holbrook. It's hard to tell, but looking at http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/137620560/history in JOSM before and after changeset 10173363, I see that it's now on the south track but had been on the north track. In that changeset, you deleted one of the ways (a two-node crossover) you had previously added: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/137364047/history and you deleted a node where the siding had joined the north main track: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1506904532/history ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] Duplicate GNIS points
What's the proper thing to do when there are multiple GNIS ids for the same node? For instance: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.131959lon=-106.516827zoom=18layers=M There are two identical nodes with identical coordinates: Saint Stephens United Methodist Church, gnis:feature_id=939399 Saint Stephen's United Methodist Church, gnis:feature_id=914456 Obviously these are meant to be the same point. What's the proper way to merge these together, since a node can't have two gnis:feature_id tags? Is it okay to just delete one? Another example has three entries: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.081997lon=-106.61987zoom=18layers=M University Art Museum (gnis:feature_id=929517) Jonson Gallery of the University Art Museum (gnis:feature_id=929518) Jonson Gallery (gnis:feature_id=933296) -- Anthony J.

In general: delete ones that are wrong, copy the gnis:* tags to the polygon if you're upgrading a node to a polygon.
