If you want to specify width, use the width=* tag, guage is a subset of width but was defined in various countries to mean different things so to prevent confusion I'd avoid it. Also even where there is multiple lines running parallel in Sydney these have all been mapped out including short sections of switch track etc, but that's due to hi-res sat imagery and some people avid about their railway tracks, Mike even put in a suggestion with some train game that they could use the information from Sydney and other places mapped in high detail as the layout for the tracks :) There is also railway=crossing for pedestrian crossings. Instead of rail:use=heritage these are usually tagged as railway=preserved, as for the other use tags, I can't comment on India, but in Australia the railways are time shared between different purposes. Also are you confusing abandoned with disused, abandoned means it has been torn down or ripped out and there is no longer any physical presence of whatever you are tagging, disused means it's been left to rot. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
