Motivation
editSNCF stations are identified by company staff with a trigram code (1 to 3 letters, sometimes numbers). Unlike the UIC code, it's specific to the company, but it's widely used, especially by employees close to railway production; in most of the company's IT tools, it's this code that's displayed and used: it's easy to remember, unique for each French station, and “looks like” the initial name.
This would then make it possible to automatically update OpenStreetMap stations and easily produce this kind of maps.
