I have no answer, but I want to say that I am glad  Nat that you have stepped forward.  I like your idea.

I would suggest that "operator" is important enough that it should be part of what shows on open street map.  They seem to have decided otherwise, but that is in error.  In the US context it is critical, and showing the line name is unimportant for the general public.  I don't know if that battle is worth fighting, but improving open railway map sure is.

Hello to the group, 
If I wanted to contribute to the website map and design, how do I move forward?  I had a hard time deciding from the wiki how to proceed. I did find https://github.com/OpenRailwayMap/OpenRailwayMap this by selecting the authors list and found the fork and pull methods.  Shall I do such to make revision changes to the viewer? 

I would like to add an additional radial for railroad operator or ownership and work through the way that looks on the site.  Maybe color code owner/operators. 

I am asking to see what has changed, as some things have not been updated in a few years.  I don't want to step on anyone's toes as I move forward with my changes and future discussions. Eg. I want to step out on the right foot. 

Best Regards,
