[OSM-talk] railway lines, tracklogs and the like

[Simon Hewison]

On the past few railway journeys I've been on, I've attempted to take 
tracklogs with an eTrex, and found that I couldn't reliably get a signal 
inside a big metal box.

I was thinking that certainly in the UK, the railway network hasn't 
expanded much at all since the OS copyright ran out on the old OS maps. 
It's contracted a lot.

Has anyone been tracing the railways on the old OS maps, excluding the 
obvious Beeching cuts? (for the readers outside the UK, Dr Beeching was 
a highly unpopular British Railways chairman in the 1960s who ordered a 
large part of the UK rail network to be closed down)
