Hello. I am a railroad historian & active advocate for rail
transportation, as well as a transit/transportation photographer. I
live in a town with a very old rail line leading to philadelphia,
pennsylvania, usa. I was alarmed and very concerned to see someone
has removed a great deal of the railway marker for this line, possibly
with political means in mind... The land is zoned as a rail right of
way, owned by the regional transportation agency, simply not active
currently, but with efforts to return service. I am trying to put
down a new railway marker line so people can see where the trains will
run & to preserve our local railroad heritage, but it says i have not
entered an address properly. I see no place to enter this
information. Can someone help? Would mean a lot to many people,
including myself. Thank you!

- Andy

Dear Andrew,

Google Map Maker won't be open for editing in the US until next year,
which is why you're getting that cryptic message about not being able
to edit.

In the meantime, there is a way to report a problem on the US map,
which is your best bet for now:
