Hi Garry,

did you check whether the current "electrified=rail" routes are 3rd rail routes only? From my perspective I would like to deprecate the "electrified=rail" tag and introduce a 3rd_rail tag even to avoid confusions. A tag should be clear understandable. That the "rail" tag will mean 3rd rail only may cause confusions.

Best, Eckhard

Eckhard,

It is all explained in our proposal at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/3rd_and_4th_rail - electrified=rail is retained and the definition tightened so that it explicitly means 3rd rail. This means that almost the whole worldwide mapped network is unaffected - and the lines that are, I'm happy to retag correctly.

And yes, we are keeping the separate top/bottom/side tag as it is currently - we will need it for 4th rail as well!

Hope that clarifies, and hope you can support.
