Hi all,
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: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3933432097
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?
Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2437528281
What do you all think?
Regards, Eckhard
Hi Eckhard,

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).
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).
