#NORFOLK TIDE LIGHT RAIL ROUTE MAP MANUAL#
Manual cleanup of Virginia railroads from the TIGER import is underway, so we are beyond the point where an additional large geometry import would be helpful (rather than a hindrance). 2 Status of Individual Railroads or Routes.The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transport publishes a relatively recent statewide rail map that OSM may use as a useful overview. Future efforts will better distinguish "industrial" rail (from existing main and brach rail), document yards, disused, abandoned railways and "railtrails," as well as convey active passenger services in the state like AmtrakĀ®, Virginia Rail Express and Tide Light Rail. Current efforts in this wiki are documenting TIGER Review in all Virginia route= railway relations. Railroad tagging conventions particular to North America are at OpenRailwayMap/Tagging in North America (under construction). The rail-specific renderer OpenRailwayMap (ORM) has yet-more-specific tagging conventions, found at OpenRailwayMap/Tagging. TIGER Review, cleanup and this kind of state-level wiki documenting such progress are ongoing, these nationwide efforts will likely continue at least until the 2030s (at our current pace of TIGER Review). Please see United_States/Railroads#Editing_Railroads_starting_from_TIGER_data, as TIGER rail data were imported across the USA in 2007-8.

Introductions to OSM's basic rail tagging scheme are Railways and railway=*. These relations are largely extant in OSM, but their TIGER Review is not well wiki-documented. This wiki intends to document all active railroads in Virginia as named districts and subdivisions along with links to their route= railway relations, as well as the status of their ongoing TIGER Review.
