Projects/To Do List
The following is a list of projects that need completion in relation to the mapping and tagging of railroad lines in Missouri.
- Adding routes to tables above with appropriate information.
- When adding lines that cross the state line, make sure you list the state the line ends in.
- Some relation sections are currently filled with "Relation not defined yet". This either means that the relation does not exist, or the relation ID simply has not been looked up.
- Adding tags and relations to routes missing that data, as shown by above tables.
- TIGER Review refers to the data originally imported into OSM and making sure it lines up properly with the satellite imagery. Tags exist for both speed limits and signalling. For more detailed information on tags and tagging railroads, see OpenRailwayMap/Tagging, OpenRailwayMap/Tagging in North America, and Tag:railway=signal.
- Renaming line segments to reflect owner and line name so that they are easily seen and identified in OSM and ORM. For example, segments of Union Pacific's Jefferson City Subdivision are all named "UP Jefferson City Subdivision". So, tag these name=UP Jefferson City Subdivision + operator=Union Pacific and/or owner=Union Pacific.
