[OSM-talk] aerialway=station + railway=station?

[David Earl]

Unlikely as it may seem, I also know of such a combination, in Japan, 
here http://osm.org/go/7Qymqlx7--  You get out of the train and 
more-or-less cross the platform to get into the cable car.

(the railway is actually a rack railway - follow the railway back down 
towards Odawara and see the cusps on it - the train comes in one way, 
they switch the points and it goes out the other, because there's no 
room to turn a corner on the steep mountainside. The cable car goes over 
the mountaintop across sulphur-spewing hot springs and comes down to 
Lake Hakone in the shadow of the Mt Fuji volcano. There's also an 
excellent sculpture park by Chokoku-no-Mori Station. Odawara at the end 
of the rack railway is on a main line to Tokyo).
