Hi Clay,

Thanks for repling me! I'm a fan of rail transport as well as cable transport, and I'm fully understand those Doppelmayr Cable Liners are not funiculars. Those changes are made because they are the same type of system but had different tags. I picked "funicular" for them because the openstreetmap wiki "Tag:railway=funicular" page said "The tag railway=funicular is also used for similar inclined railways where the vehicle(s) are moved by cables, but which are not necessarily a funicular from a technical standpoint". That's why I think it's the most appropriate tag for them although I still think they need a better one. I'm thinking about proposing a change for the tag, or maybe add a new one, but I can't find any information for how to do it. Do you know how?

Thanks!

I don't think OSM are that detailed in different type of cable hauled rail line at this time, maybe we can add something like "note=not a funicular but a Doppelmayr Cable Liner Double Shuttle" to DART's data, I think that's all we can do at this point. The funicular tag really needs some updates...

According to Wikipedia, if a cable car line has two cars(or two trains) operated as a counterbalanced, interconnected pair, always moving in opposite directions, thus meeting the definition of a funicular. If not, then it's just a cable car, but still applicable to the funicular OSM tag according to OSM's wiki.

您好,我前些天在track_ref标签中填写的“西郊食品冷冻厂专用线”、“北京展览馆专用线”并非常用名称,而是《铁路专用线专用铁路名称表》中的正式名称,阁下能否提供下您提到的铁路工务名称的来源以供参考?感谢!
