This is just my opinion. I view relations as data that cannot be easily inferred from other data in the OSM database. The MRT3 ways are connected end-to-end and have the same tags save for the layer, bridge, and tunnel tags, so it can be easily inferred that they constitute one railway. Therefore, I don't think an explicit relation is needed especially since relations are harder to edit. For example, you cannot just merge two of the ways in this relation into 1 way. You have to remove both of them from the relation first, do the merge, then add the combined way back into the relation.
But, I'd appreciate any input if my understanding of relations is wrong.
