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.

That is true, thank you Nathan Proudfoot. For the Union Pacific, I

Yes, WGS84 because that’s what’s used by GPS (which was, after all, the
original data source for OSM).
Of course, then there’s the question of *which* WGS84 definition we’re talking
about. You actually can’t assumed that current definitions of WGS84 and NAD83
are 1m difference. You can dip

Any magic incantation that will just do this (for shapefile data) is
appreciated. I don't know if copy-pasting the above string into a .prj in
the shapefile folder will direct JOSM (via Shapefile plug-in) to adjust the
data to WGS 84, or if something different is required. It is even

OSM uses WGS-84 as its default, and I erred in not realizing these
data are in NAD 27, so a conversion does seem to be necessary.
Not just by default - OSM is defined as only being in WGS84.
When you open them as-is with JOSM (+ Shapefile plug-in), you get

Clifford,
When talking to the Scout team this summer it was mentioned as an issue.
Also Scout wont route across access roads and if there is an access road
leading up to the dock/portal then no route. you will notice that it is
listed as primary road in Edmonds and Kingston.
