[Talk-ca] National Railway Network - R?seau ferroviaire national

[Olivier Hill]

Richard,

I couldn't agree more. It is interesting to see also how it can replace the
current network (and by replace, I mean "oh no!!").

In most cities, the railway network has been improved with imagery and
commuter network stations, platforms, routes, etc. We have to be very
careful not to impact the improvements already done on OSM.

Thanks,
Olivier
