This is a track. > It's an abandoned railroad that is being *used* as a track. I am not convinced that leftover rubbish makes it railroad. There is plenty of old metal and coal in many other places. My cousin has in basement more coal and rail-related metal and it does not mean that it can be mapped as an abandoned railroad. That in this case old rubbish is at location that used to contain railroad is not important - we are not mapping past. Mapping state of Forum Romanum 2000 years ago would make more sense (note to make it clear - I am convinced that Forum Romanum and other places should be mapped at its current state). _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
