Re: [openrailwaymap] Rendering of Signals in the US?

Hello,
I have tried a few combinations of tags in order to try to get a signal
icon to render on a railway line in the US. Most of the working examples I
have seen have been specific to countries in Europe.
I would like to know if this feature works, and if so how I can properly
code the signals in order to make them show up on the map.
I have a few nodes setup here for testing purposed:

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
The simple answer is: there are no rendering rules (and no icons either) for
signals outside Germany and Austria.
To proceed I suggest to first suggest a tagging scheme and put it in the wiki
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging_in_North_America).
Then get some icons and write a stylesheet or ask for help, I'm meanwhile
quite used to hack those things together. Then create a PR on GitHub
(https://github.com/rurseekatze/OpenRailwayMap) so it can get merged.
While at it, the "operator" tagging suggested there is not compatible with
what we use elsewhere: operator gives the _track_ operator, i.e. the company
that sends the workers out to fix the tracks or signals or whatnot. What lines
run on those tracks is of no interest for ORM (it goes to route relations for
route!=tracks).

Are those pictures available for photo-mapping?
