If there's a usable bridge, it's bridge=yes. If there's no usable

is legitimate & accurate.
And when I cycle such a thing and want to map it, it's:
highway=cycleway
And I'm done. How am I to know there used to be rails infrastructure
there, years (and years) ago?
But I'm biased. We render them on the mapnik map, and that's mostly
where my discomfort stems from. It would be fine to have the tags just
for the purpose of generating dedicated railways maps that also show all
the glory of past, but what the heck are they doing on the current map?
