I'm in the process of reviewing (and for the most part redrawing) the entire rail network in Flanders (to begin with, if the aerial imagery of Wallonia is good enough, I may extend it a bit that way, I've done all of West-Flanders and most of East-Flanders so far. It has slowed a bit since I don't have a lot of free time at the moment, but I hope to continue soon. If you come across some loose ends, that's where I'm at. Sources are the AGIV imagery, but I have a bit more knowledge about it since I'm an actual train driver. I try to work as accurate as possible, but it's a huge task (and I still have to do the entire port of Antwerp, ugh)... In the process I'm also adding maxspeeds, proper line refs and station/yard/junction names and codes, so you get nice maps on http://www.openrailwaymap.org/?lang=en&lat=51.02844005602989&lon=3.49365234375&zoom=9&style=standard On that aspect, I'm currently tagging everything except the industrial line as main line, and never branch line. Infrabel doesn't really make a distinction there, and I feel like creating one will just be too subjective. If someone has a better idea, let me know.
