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

[Paul Johnson]

Portland also needs help.  Seems whenever the map gets fixed, someone goes
through and stomps the name back to something incorrect like "Metropolitan
Area Express" or "Portland Streetcar" instead of the subdivision name, and
pull things like putting the line of the service running on the tracks as
ref=*.   God help you if you actually try to point it out, Grant Humphries
or Peter Dobratz will get bitchy about it...
