As I understand it, NE2 was looking for a tagging scheme that would allow for searches to find trails on a railway grade. Searching for rail trails is obviously easy; just look for railway=abandoned with a relevant highway= tag. But as things stand now, searching for railside trails is hard; you have to find a pair of ways, one tagged highway= and the other tagged railway=, that are roughly parallel to each other. That's a very complicated search to make, even working from a geodatabase. Adding another tag to the trails would make such searches much more feasible. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
