Anyway the examples you find in OSM are few and in all cases I know the completely erased bits are a tiny part of the overall ex-railway. The same argument applies also to ex-roads. A thing which springs to mind would be tagging the ex-Route 66, of which huge stretches still exist in different forms. (I rode it on bicycle) This would be a very interesting and pertinent job in OSM.
