[Imports] Railway import - Norway

[Michael Reichert]

Hi,

I have not reviewed the whole import yet but here are some things I found:

Could you please use construction:railway=* in addition to
railway=construction? The same applies to disused, abandoned and razed
tracks.

Your import page mentions railway=razed. Are you aware that some
community members think that overbuilt railway lines shouldn't be mapped
in OSM?

If the name tag of a railway line is just the concatenation of two
station/place names, it shouldn't be added. name=* is reserved for real
names and some features don't have names.

Examples for some German names which aren't real names from my point of
view:
Hannover–Celle
DB Wanne-Eickel–Hamburg

But the following German names are names which should be added:
Linke Rheinstrecke [Left Rhine Railway Line]
Schwarzwaldbahn [Black Forest Line]
Berlin-Hamburger-Bahn [Berlin–Hamburg Line]
Schnellfahrstrecke Hannover–Würzburg [High Speed Line Hannover–Würzburg]
Lehrter Bahn [literally "line to Lehrte"]

I have not received an email from that mailing list. You have to be
subscribed to that list to send emails to it.

Best regards
