Ah, I was wondering when I was redrawing all the railways in there (do I get 
some money now too? :-p ) how everything got so detailed in there that there 
had to be someone with inside information :-)

One question though, I don't agree that those crane rails like these 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/51.1645/3.8031 should be tagged as 
railway=rail. I feel like there should be a special tag for them. Right now 
they're even more prominent on all the maps than the real railways, and in 
every railway themed map they're now seen as some proper railways... I used 
the tag man_made=rail for them, but you obviously don't like that one...

Also, there are man_made=crane nodes on the location where you can see them in 
the AGIV imagery, but how can you map these when they actually move over the 
rails?
