[OSM-talk-be] Railway data accuracy , age and origin

[Glenn Plas]

Thanks,

I actually missed that motm edition.   It is because it's so detailed I
wondered if that was an import job or not.  I wonder how 'open' NMBS
would be if we asked for their digitized data... I'm working all angles
at this moment.
