Right. So if I delete the mapped rail line
Abandoned makes it sounds like there are tracks in place for the
length of the line, just no trains running on it.
Is ruined a tag?

Right. So if I delete the mapped rail line that doesn't exist, then

the traces of an old rail line isn't historical mapping. If
there are currently traces there then it's mapping the present.

Hi Matt,
The question about mapping old, historical features is much wider than
just the Australian context. I'm pretty sure the current consensus is that
we old rail lines should be mapped - even if there is not much to see on
the ground. There might be more than you think - there's a station
Hi,
I'm pretty sure we've reached consensus in the past that if there is
absolutely no evidence of it on the ground - no tunnels - no cuttings - no
tracks. In other words there was a railway line, but now it is a shopping
mall, then it doesn't get mapped. We don't maintain layers of history in
Not sure of the original source - the rail line is in old Melways etc.
and in some out of copy right maps I have. The existence of the inner
