   I was thinking of NY State for example, where all crossings already 
exist in OSM.  Those would just be empty tasks.   Since they're all 
points, it should be easy to do a pre-conflation to exclude existing 
matches.

  But I haven't looked at FRA data - perhaps it doesn't include GPS 
location?
