Yeah, I think the way you express it now is appropriate: just highway=cycleway, and railway=abandoned. (I don't necessarily agree with your description that rail trail = autobahn for bicycles. Often, around here at least, they're unpaved, and usually intended for tourism and recreation rather than commuting, for instance.) For the original question of how to tag a "rail with trail" (I've also heard the term "railside trail"), is it not sufficient to simply map the two ways separately?
