I'm not sure I understood the WIki correctly - either that, or Osmarender doesn't do what the wiki says. In this place [1], the railway runs on a raised finger of land, as described in the wiki. So I put two parallel ways on both sides of the railway and tagged them as embankments; but the resulting render suggests that one way would be enough. What is the intended use of the embankment tag?
