I suspect I am a lone voice but I don't agree. The thing that
differentiates railways from a lot of historical features is they form a
network, some if which is still an operating railway and a lot of which
is still visible in the ground. Having the extant sections in one
database and the razed/dismantled sections in another is just making it
unnecessarily complex to form a picture of the entire network, which for
the sake of a few additional ways on OSM (which I agree would not
generally be rendered) can be easily solved.
Roads do also form a network. And it would be equally interesting to see
how roads from yesteryear connected to it. Yet we don't keep those on
OSM (I personally removed miles of highway, from two different highways,
the minute they went out of use - or actually I didn't, I first made
them highway=road as the actual tarmac stayed visible for a few
months/years)

This is undesirable, OSM is not a place to map historic data. When I
encounter such mismapped
objects I remove them.
