[OSM-talk-be] Railway dataset from Infrabel

[Luc Van den Troost]

Ther *may* have been some railway mapping based on generalised data
(like railway stations). At least, that's what i might conclude from my
experience in Diest where the track of 'Turnhoutsebaan' was crossing the
'railway' making a +/- straight line from Diest to the next station. 

Don't know if it has to do with infrabel data. 

If it is usefull, a friend of me is train-driver. Could ask him to take
a datalogger with him for some time. 

More interesting people to give a data logger (just wild thoughts) are
postmen or garbage collectors. They have to pass every house on their
round... It doesn't give streetnames yet, but at least it would give a
street pattern.
