Dear contributors,
while the WMS of the milestones (slice 1) ought to be being developed, I decided to introduce you guys to slice 2. The proposal that I'm about to present is about the Dutch equivalent of Betriebsstelle: dienstregelingspunten. Freely translated, this means timetable-nodes. The English equivalent is the collection of yards, junctions, sidings and moveable bridges (note that yards and sidings are distinguished in the Dutch definition).
So, what exactly will that look like? One point per "station", that would match what we have as railway=station (or halt, or service_station)? For those elements the node is placed "in the center of the object", so I guess any coordinate you would give us would be fine.
Greetings,
Eike
P.S.: Alexander is currently very busy, and I'm not a railway expert, so I held back with answering. Your mail was not lost, but I expect it to take a bit to get a broader discussion.
