I don't think I've seen it all that much, but the College Park Trolley Trail outside Washington DC is an example: http://osm.org/go/ZZc1mvedD- . The trolley went straight, but the trail, which is (last I saw it) largely unpaved and really more for foot traffic than bikes[0], wanders a lot more from side to side than the rails did. [0] So I'm not sure I understand its current tagging, but it's been a while since I was there in person, so maybe they've made it more bike-amenable. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
