I would like to confirm that the inclusion of qualifiers such as
"closed" or "freight only" in the name is NOT appropriate.
+1 for not appropriate. Use the description tag.
e.g.
railway=station
name = xxxxxx (closed)
or
railway=station
name=xxxxxxx (freight only)
I understand both are inappropriate uses of the name tag and should
not be used.
I think the first should be tagged as disused or abandoned such as
disused:railway=station
name=xxxxxxxx
and the second with
railway=yard
name=xxxxxxx
Is that generally agreed?
Yes from me.
What about a former railway station that is now freight only. Can one
combine disused:railway=station and railway=yard on the one node or
should there be multiple nodes?
I think they should be areas.
I would not bother with the disused: as it is now in use for a similar
purpose. Putting both tags on the same way would mean the render has to
decide what to show. I'd make the choice for them - present use is more
important. If it is important is some way then use the description tag,
e.g. 'description=Was a passenger station'.

Hi,
I am trying to get some clarity about tagging old railway stations

has not seen a train stop for a numbe of decades
There appears to be a myriads of ways to tag this according to the
Wiki. What is the best standardised approach (which I will add to the
ATG)
