[Talk-ca] Mass retagging for CPKC railroad merger

[Jarek Piórkowski]

In turn, wouldn't it be owner=CPKC rather than operator?

Around the GTA we have the owners included in subdivision names and to be honest I rather like it. Like, "CN York Subdivision", "CP North Toronto Subdivision", or "GO Transit Weston Subdivision". It helps figure out why the heck there are two parallel separate lines everywhere. It's not tagging for the renderer, it's tagging for the human viewer IMO :). I'm open to pointers to map views that display the owner/operator of rail lines from appropriate tags without extra clicks.

(GO Transit is the reason behind my question about owner tag - most GO tracks are owned by Metrolinx, the trains are operated by Alstom, and I'm not sure who does track operations like signals etc, but the most important part IMO is that Metrolinx owns it).
