Check this out! Wikimapia combines the user-updated fetures of a Wiki with Google maps.

For example, I was checking it out for a work project, but for my test labled the CNJ yards in Jersey City. Go to the link below. You can add or edit anything, and it is visible to whole community.

This is a great way to lable abandoned railcar locations.

Just so you know, if I ever have to enter a 12-step program to treat my addiction to this, it will be your fault.

Please reserve a seat in the group for me! I was considering labeling mileposts on the Laurel Line grade, when much to my relief, I found out Scranton is not presented in enough detail. ;-)
