We recently had a discussion on the talk-ca list about named railway
locations that had been tagged as railway=station (see this thread).
It was proposed to take the discussion to the tagging list in order to
come to a consensus that's consistent and in line with other
countries.
To quickly
Well the British railway speak for such locations would probably be TRUST
reporting point or timing point. They are typically junctions, crossovers
or passing places (if there's no station). So I'm not sure there's a
public term available.
Maybe railway=location?

Or even railway=locality, to tie in with the well-established place=locality
for tagging a 'lieu-dit'.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieu-dit: The name usually refers to some
characteristic of the place, its former use, a past event, etc.)

railway=locality makes perfectly sense, indeed.
As a railway user, I found
One possibility is railway=station state=abandoned (where that's
correct, of course).
