The instructions are fine. Most of what I've found are false positives and
crossings that need railway=level_crossing. Most that needed the
level_crossing are unconnected although not all. A few were missing the
street/footway/track and some are now bridges.

We still need to do a lot of work on streets in rural areas. I've ended up
fixing a few in order to add the crossing.

Would be nice if a company were to offer some "prize" for getting this
completed. Union Pacific is pushing for rail crossing safety. We should
consider approaching UP and BN for some incentives for getting people to
map crossings. Martijn, you have more experience with offering prizes, what
is your take?
