Looking at the wiki definition, it appears we have defined railway=yard as the tag for a freight station. This seems rather strange, I would have preferred to use this tag for railway yards in general, i.e. also for storing or sorting waggons / coaches / trains / locomotives etc., and have subtags for the specific function (or already use different tags like railway=sorting_yard, railway=freight_station, etc.) Reading more wikipedia, the term "yard" in conjunction of "railway" has lots of different meanings, specific sub-entities refering only to a (functional) part of a goods station or other part (e.g. marshalling yard, flat yard, hump yard, gravity yard,departure yard, car repair yard, transfer yard, ...) Maybe it's time for some refactoring? Cheers, Martin
