You might well have the remains of an old railway, such as an embankment, that was still present and useful as a landmark, but had not been turned into a cycleway.
one reason to keep the abandoned railways in place is that in fact they are still frequently meaningful landmarks. another is that while many aren't cycleways yet, from time to time they do get converted; Albany County (NY) just purchased an old D&H line with the intent to convert it into a new bike/hike trail. since the old line is still in OSM, it will be easy to flip the switch when the county is done with the work. richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
