For Belgium #31 and #33 are irrelevant, because our citynames are fixed, we can't really make such mistakes in the cityname.
And because we have citynames that are used more than once, we use abbreviations to distinguish them: pe 'Laeken / Laken (Bru.)' is colouring completely blue, and that doesn't need to be changed

With the part of validator that focuses on RR names and locks, is there a master list of approved railroad names? Some common N. American RR names are flagged in Validator, such as Conrail (it is not a "fallen flag", i.e. no longer in existence, rather it operates solely in Philly/S. Jersey, N. Jersey and Detroit), CSX Transportation, Amtrak or my local regional rail network SEPTA (SouthEastern Pa Transp. Auth.). In addition, while adding the word "Line" seems to remove the flag, not all railroad lines are "lines". A big example of this is Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, which currently gets the flag. Some lines may be called a "secondary", "industrial", "industrial TRACK" (there is a difference) or even "yard". "Conrail - Port Richmond Industrial" could be made "Industrial LINE", but "Industrial Track" couldn't be, nor could "Conrail - Frankford Yard" have "line" added to it.

Is it possible to have the words "Corridor", "Yard" and "Track" added to exempted words? "Lead" may be another example, as the tracks that approach railroad yards are often called "Yard Leads", but may not actually be part of the yard, and could themselves be miles long.

Words that should be added to the validator: "Railway" (BNSF and Norfolk Southern company names include "Railway", not "Railroad"); "Yard"; "Junction"; and "Track". Current wiki guidance concerning mapping railroads suggests that when mapping yards it is sufficient to outline the yard with a track, similar to how PLRs are used to border parking lots. These tracks marking the edges of the yard would be part of the yard, and not 'lines to the yard', as the term "yard line" would suggest.

The other types of railroad lines could all end with the word "line", like a "spur line", or a "secondary line". Main lines typically go by the name of their destination city, eg. "Amtrak - Harrisburg Line" or "CSXT - Trenton Line".

Perhaps "Company" could be added to the whitelist of words as well.

With the new version of WME, Validator is not loading for me. I'm using Chrome and have tried reinstalling the extension.

Thanks!
