[openrailwaymap] Re: owner_change and border
Hi Eckhard,

I have seen that railway=owner_change is used not only for real
owner changes but even for district borders etc. From my understanding that
is not meant by the definition of this tag.
Example:

I mean that the right way is like this:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3583040676
Even the the tag railway=border is used in wrong way I think. Is this meant
for federals state borders?
No, railway=border is meant for locations where two distinct operators
of infrastructure meet at the boundary of two countries (e.g. boundary
locations between DB Netz (Germany) and ProRail (The Netherlands)).
railway=owner_change is meant for locations where there is no national
border (e.g. DB Netz and a private infrastructure operator meeting).
Example:

What do you all think?
I changed a couple of these nodes into railway=site in Germany a few
weeks ago because they have a DS100 facility code (railway:ref=*) but I
am not against removing them completely because there is no
representation on the ground (apart from the boundary stones of the border).
Best regards
Michael
