[OSM-talk] OpenRailwayMap Electrification Status vs tag electrification=no

[john whelan]

My feeling is locally in Canada is every rail line that is electrified, and
they are rare in Canada, will be tagged.  Yes there is some limited value
to the tag but I don't think it is very high and there is a cost in the
size of the database.
