I did preview it lol :D

Anyways, I’ve created an import page for the project for discussion.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UKRail_Project

Sorry for triple posting.

I’m actually glad we are discussing this, as I’m planning a huge railway project that involves adding all the speed limits, references, restrictions, TIPLOCs, crossing and restrictions all into a standard consistent format.

There are other things within the NESA data that states a train must stop at ABC crossing before it can proceed. Not sure if there is a tag for that?

I don’t know why it made some of my text bold from my previous response.

I was the one who created that page and it still needs some work.

FIA, IFA, FEA, etc.. are different types of wagons. Currently I just find the highest dimension and add “loading_gauge:maxheight=xxxx” if xxx is the highest out of all the restrictions. Luckily so far, it’s a small amount and easily fixable if a new standard is chosen.

2438 is the length in millimeters (stated on the wiki).

I sent them an email based on the templates and made sure to include all the numerical points including “[5] We formally attribute all such sources at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution, using any specific wording if you request. We also try to provide a link to this page with any extract of data from our database. However, for reasons of practicality, we do not require end-users to repeat such attribution since it runs into hundreds.”

I did not know about tilting maxspeed. I’ll be sure to use that. The ones I’m not sure about is when there are loading gauge restrictions and Route Availability (1-10).

An example would be LOR NW9001:

The following traffic and combinations only are permitted: Up to 2438(h) x 2438(w) on FIA, IFA, FEA, FRA, KFA wagons ————–

Sometimes they are individually listed. So would loading_gauge:fia:height=2438 and loading_gauge:fia:width=2438 suffice or is there a standard?

Also in regards to loading gauge. I put the full loading gauge i.e. W6A, W7, W8, W9, W10 as sometimes I route can be W10 but not W9. I’m also sure I’ve seen routes that are W7 but not W6 for an odd reason.
