An abandoned railway (usually a narrow gauge one) is quite a common object in Russia. Numerous narrow gauge light railways were built to transport wood. As soon as a certain area of forest gets depleted rails are unmounted, but the embankment left is used as a road. However, it is usually used not as a cycling path :) since it runs through wilderness and may span up to 100 klms. Since it isn't serviced, it usually gets to condition when only 4x4 vehicle can pass. I have mapped some of these former railways, and I usually use railway=abandoned on them. I'm glad that you made a proposal, however I'd appreciate if new tagging scheme would fit both German and Russian realities. I'll upload several fotos and link them to proposal page in next few days, as well as add couple of words to the proposal, if you don't mind. -- Totus tuus, Glebius. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
