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?
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.
