Hi Patricia,
It's really great to see your interest here! It is very much welcome. I would recommend you take a look at the Import Guidelines if you haven't already https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines which explain the process for doing imports into OSM. Covering licensing community by-in and how to actually do an import. The OpenStreetMap wiki is the best place to find out about our schema. Information about railway mapping is at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railways and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging. In my eyes the biggest challenge will be conflating your data with the existing OSM data. It's likely this will need to be done manually, but certainly something which we will be able to work out through further discussion and exploration. Are you considering also releasing this data set on it's own as open data? That would allow the OSM community to have a look at this data to see what might be involved in merging it with OSM. Don't hesitate to ask for further help, there are some very passionate people in our OSM community.
