This means that the separate track should be removed for the 3 cases I
listed, or not ?

So why two lines for an abandoned railway and the cycleway/footway on it ?
No, highway and cycleway should not share any ways. The only thing which
may be acceptable is reusing the same nodes for two different ways, but
only if they are on exactly the same location, which is actually quite
rare. In quite a lot of cases there will be an offset, or it will diverge a

For the first two examples there is no doubt that there are still remains

I still wonder whether it makes much sense to leave the railway tag on this

While mapping my RWN walk near Hulshout / Westmeerbeek I noticed that there
were 2 cycleways next to one another, running from north to south:

One was simply mapped as highway=cycleway, the other had more tags and
Hi Lennard and the others.
Perhaps you can explain how 'abandoned' and 'disused' SHOULD be
interpreted in relation to the rendering rules. As far as I have seen,
the wiki pages about railways do not mention this.
If both should appear on the map, then probably 'historical tracks' that
are no

Historical items then might be mapped in a different way that is usefull
for, for instance, a separate rendering or different layer. That
would not only be the case for historical railway tracks,

I can only explain at the moment how these situations handled on the
mapnik
Some 'abandoned railways' are marked in OSM.
In some cases the location of the old railway line still exists, only
the tracks are removed.
In other cases nothing remembers at the railway line that 'once has been
there'
examples of these can be seen
north of Galgeweel in Antwerpen Linkeroever

Now, should those abandoned tracks be mapped? Sure, why not? railway=abandoned
is just a tag made for it, implying that it isn't there anymore. And it's just
fun to see their influence in today's street and housing patterns. But it
probably doesn't

railway=disused is for railways still there but not used

railway=abandoned is for railways no longer there

For abandoned
But about visibility: it's a choice of the people in charge of the
rendering.
You could open a trac ticket to ask for a change as I don't think there's
anyone on this mailing list who can edit the rendering rules directly.
You would be wrong, but please still open trac tickets for requests,
