IIRR there is also the proposed concept of dismantled railways where the tracks are removed but it is still perceivable as former railway (e.g. embankments and tunnels, bridges). While disused and abandoned are states that are not disputed for inserting in osm (afaik), dismantled and razed are. Personally I’d accept dismantled railways as long as there is something, even if it requires additional knowledge or experience to understand that what you see is a former railway. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
