This particular thing really annoys me. Fair enough if the track is
still in place - go nuts mapping it - but there are "disused" rail lines
marked up even when the track hasn't been in place for 30 years, and
it's only an historical curiosity. See the Inner Circle railway in
Melbourne for example:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-37.78015/144.97908
I've been tempted to nuke this "disused" railway for ages, especially as
the current path doesn't actually reflect where it even use to run with
any accuracy.

Hi all,
I've recently noticed a tenancy for people to tag railways as disused,
even when all traces have been gone for decades.
This is probably because railway=abandoned has been removed from the
rendering on openstreetmap.org <http://openstreetmap.org> (to try and
stop people tagging abandoned railways..)
Just a reminder to all that railway=abandoned is still the correct tag
for a track that doesn't exist anymore.
railway=disused is only for tracks that are still in place and able to
be used (at least in theory).
Has anyone seen a site that renders historical or current railway
lines so I can direct people there to see their work rendered?
