Hi Garry,

One of the issues that we've faced in improving the
electrification tagging in the UK is dual electrified tracks. At some locations in the UK
- and I believe in most countries - different electrification systems meet and overlap,
with an overhead contact system and a ground-level contact system co-existing on a single
track for a short distance. We have around 10 of these locations in the UK, some with
multiple tracks.
There is currently no guidance given to taggers on how to treat these tracks AFAIK. Has
anyone already looked at this? We were thinking to use the standard OSM
key=<value1;value2> syntax to identify these tracks. As an example, a single track
provided with both 25kV 50Hz AC overhead line and 750V DC third rail would be tagged as
follows:
electrified=contact_line;rail
voltage=25000;750
frequency=50;0
Thoughts welcome!
This looks ok to me.
A situation like this occurs only once in Germany (Birkenwerder
station), currently, only the electrification by rail is mapped there.
A tagging similar to your proposal is already in use for tracks, where
the overhead line can be switched between different systems (15 kV 16,7
Hz AC <-> 3 kV at Aachen Hbf and 15 kV 16,7 Hz <-> 1,5 kV DC at Bad
Bentheim).
As both cases are very rare, it should be ok, to use the same tagging
for both?
