Thanks for that. In that case I'll stick with the "path" tool in Google
Earth though.

I had just hoped that someone would have actually thought of
implementing a user interface for extracting information from
Openrailwaymap. But, well, "web application" and "user interface",
those two things just don't seem to fit.
