If there's still a trace of the railway left, even if only in a hedge or property line, I'll leave the abandoned railway. If nothing remains (as in http://osm.org/go/ZZfEbI0G , where the land was bulldozed and a mall built), I'll retag the way railway=dismantled, which seems to be the accepted tag for such things. It doesn't show up on the main map, but it's still there for specialty maps and railfans. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
