User:Nakaner/Mechanical Edit Berlin S-Bahn Infrastructure Operator Change

This page is the documentation of a mechanical edit on operator=* of railway infrastructure in Berlin and State of Brandenburg. For the German documentation and discussion see its thread at Berlin mailing list.

Less than 1500 objects will be edited.

Why is this edit necessary?

The infrastructure of S-Bahn Berlin GmbH (operator of Berlin S-Bahn) has moved its infrastructure (railway tracks, platforms, stations, electric cables (?), signal boxes, switches, signals etc.) to various other parts of Deutsche Bahn, e.e. DB Netz AG and DB Station & Service AG. This edit will update operator=*.

Tools

Following Overpass query will be used for rough selection:

[out:xml][timeout:120];
(
  // query part for: “operator="S-Bahn"”
  node[railway]["operator"~"^S(-| )Bahn"]({{bbox}});
  way[railway]["operator"~"^S(-| )Bahn"]({{bbox}});
  node["public_transport"]["operator"~"^S(-| )Bahn"]({{bbox}});
  way["public_transport"]["operator"~"^S(-| )Bahn"]({{bbox}});
  node[amenity!~"vending_machine"]["operator"~"^S(-| )Bahn"]({{bbox}});
  way[amenity!~"vending_machine"]["operator"~"^S(-| )Bahn"]({{bbox}});
);
out meta;
>;
out meta qt;

The result will be loaded and edited using JOSM. All modified objects will be reviewed regarding tagging mistakes by other users.

Planned Modifications

• railway tracks: operator=DB Netz AG
• station nodes (railway=station): operator=DB Station & Service AG
• halt nodes (railway=halt): operator=DB Station & Service AG
• stop positions at platforms (public_transport=stop_position): operator=DB Station & Service AG:DB Netz AG
• stop positions which are not at platforms (railway=stop without public_transport=stop_position): operator=DB Netz AG
• other station stuff like surveillance cameras: operator=DB Station & Service AG
• other railway infrastructure stuff except objects related to power supply: operator=DB Netz AG
• power supply (cables, substations etc.): not decided yes (maybe DB Energie GmbH)

Vending machines will not be modified. They remain part of S-Bahn Berlin GmbH.
