Add railways

railway=

• rail
• narrow_gauge
• preserved
• funicular
• subway
• light_rail
• monorail
• tram

These will need grouping. For the WMF, I grouped rail, narrow_gauge, preserved, funicular together, and subway, light_rail, monorail, and tram together.

WMF osm-bright2 uses 'rail', 'monorail', 'narrow_gauge', 'subway', 'tram' for one group and 'funicular', 'light_rail', 'preserved' for the other. The original osm-bright uses 'light_rail', 'subway', 'narrow_gauge', 'rail', 'tram' in one group, and all others in another group.

I want to display more detail than the styles mentioned above, which means I can do more groups.

I did some grouping with stickies, and am inclined towards

• rail, narrow_gague, and funicular;
• preserved;
• subway, light_rail, and monorail; and
• tram

I'm not sure this is the best for funicular or preserved. I've contemplated moving preserved to the same group as rail, and I'm never sure what to do with a funicular.

I am interested in what @Nakaner thinks when he sees the groupings in stickies at the Geofabrik office ;)

Most rail line cartography uses one of four styles

• A line with ticks.
  

• Alternating gray and white dashes with a casing
  

• Short lines against the direction of travel
  

• A solid line

Maybe move funicular to preserved for "tourism railways"? Though I am not sure whatever "funicular is a tourism attraction rather than a public transport" is really generally true.

BTW, I have no idea whatever comments like this above are welcomed here, I assume that they are (based on what I would want in case of publishing a similar project) - but if I made a mistake just tell me.

being an attraction to tourists doesn’t exclude that it is public transport as well
