Key:railway:electricity

Electric railways are widely spread around the globe. These vehicles are powered by overhead lines, supported by power=catenary_mast, or third rails (see: electrified=* ). Under this key (railway:electricity) the feeding points for the energy and seperation points can be tagged. Mostly there is also a switch nearby.

Tagging section point

Key	Value	Comment	Recommendation
railway:electricity	joint	Section point, seperating two section of overhead line or (electric) third rail from eachother. Mostly close to a power=catenary_mast, but can also be placed in the middle between two of them.	Mandatory
railway:electricity:jumpering	possible, no, closed, bridged	Switch status or possibilities for this switch.	Recommended
railway:electricity:ref	<ref>	Unique value, which you would normally put in ref=*, for this point. Visable on a sign at this point.	Recommended
operator operator:wikidata	<switch operator>	The name of the company which operates this infrastructure	Recommended

Tagging feeding point

Key	Value	Comment	Recommendation
railway:electricity	power_supply	Feeding point for electric energy into third (electric) rail or overhead line. Mostly close to a power=catenary_mast. Not to bey confused with railway=power_supply providing a power plug for electric devices.	Mandatory
voltage	<operating voltage>	The voltage this point supplies	Recommended
railway:electricity:ref	<ref>	Unique value (for this operator), which you would put normally in ref=*, for this point. Visable on a sign at this point.	Recommended
operator operator:wikidata	<switch operator>	The name of the company which operates this infrastructure	Recommended
