Hi all,<br><br>here's what i got.<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Drail">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Drail</a> <br><br>{{tag|railway|rail}} ... <br><br><div>I propose that the railway tag can be further broken down..</div>
<div><br>{{tag|railway:competence|other;federal}}<br>Legislative authority of the railway.<br>-Other: Other than federal authority.<br>-Federal: Railway governed by federal laws.<br><br>{{tag|railway:gauge|unknown;narrow;standard;special}}<br>
Type of track based on the distance between the two rails.<br>-Unknown: Impossible to determine the gauge from the data source.<br>-Narrow: Railway with a gauge of 0.967 m.<br>-Standard: Railway with a gauge of 1.435 m.<br>
-Special: A railway-like feature, such as a subway or miniature railway.<br><br>{{tag|railway:status|unknown;under_construction;non_operational;operational}}<br>Status of the railway.<br>-Unknown: Impossible to determine the railway status from the data source.<br>
-Under construction: Railroad under construction when the field survey was carried out.<br>-Non-operational: Railway no longer suitable for rail traffic.<br>-Operational: Any useable or used railway.<br><br>{{tag|railway:support|unknown;ground_level;snowshed;bridge;tunnel}}<br>
Portion of a railway having a structure to cross an obstacle.<br>-Unknown: Impossible to determine the railway support from the data<br>source.<br>-Ground level: Railway built directly at ground level.<br>-Snowshed: Roofed structure built over a railway in mountainous areas to<br>
protect railway from snow slides.<br>-Bridge: Railway built on a raised structure spanning an obstacle.<br>-Tunnel: Railway built in a cavity or underground structure to get<br>through or under an obstacle.<br><br>{{tag|railway:type|unknown;other;multiple;single}}<br>
Description of existing infrastructure.<br>-Unknown: Impossible to determine the railway type from the data<br>source.<br>-other: Any known railway section that is not categorized as multiple<br>or unique, such as a siding, passing track, spur, etc.<br>
-multiple: More than one railway on the same roadbed.<br>-single: Railroad with only one railway.<br><br>the wiki isn't as detailed.... so im looking for help, on matching tags.. so then perhaps only a couple of tags could be proposed.<br>
