| Tools for this tag |
|
This tag is used on relations which map the route of a railway line. These relations gather rail infrastructure (track) elements, often with the same name=*, railway=*, usage=* and owner=* / operator=* tags.
Passenger train services which run on the line (and connecting lines) are tagged separately using one or more route=train relations.
See Railways and Train routes.
Note: do not use a railway=rail tag on this relation as this will confuse renderers.
Tagging
