Re: [Tagging] line=* tag on railway lines

[Jack Armstrong]

I have wondered for a long time...

If the rail is tagged name=* but the railway also has a relation with the same name, isn't this naming something twice? it seems to me the relation is sufficient and the rail itself should not be named?

Hi all,

On the line=* wiki page, it is mentioned this key is used to give railway lines names in combination with branch=*

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:line

Shouldn't name=* be used instead?

Yes, name tag is for name of the object.
