[Talk-us] USA Rail: Calling all OSM railfans! (especially in California)

[stevea]

http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/California/Railroads now documents an "early 
alpha" state of OSM rail in California.

Especially if you are a "railfan" in California, please have a look. 
Or, if you are a rail enthusiast in another state, and want a 
template with which to jump-start better OSM rail completion in your 
neck of the woods, please copy what you might from this wiki.  It is 
a little bit "stubby" (some missing elements in the tables...) but it 
should provide a good launch pad for either a California railfan or 
an OSM mapper who wants to ignite a similar venture in another state.

As is true of so many things OSM:  there remains much more to do, but 
look what we've already done!
