[OSM-talk] User WJtW - railway track counts

[Colin Smale]

Same here, very similar message and very similar response.... 

I noticed he has unblocked himself and is working again, but in the new
changeset I looked at yesterday "tracks=N" was no longer being added.
Still not sure about the sources of the other information
(electrification info, usage etc), maybe it's inside info, maybe it's a
guess, or maybe he is just widely-travelled. It is certainly spread
widely across Europe.
