old rail lines should be switched over to railway=abandoned if the tracks are gone. if they've been converted into cycleways it's ok to leave railway=abandoned while adding highway=cycleway. i've done that for a bunch of the Mohawk-Hudson Bike-Hike trail, which uses quite a bit of the old roadbed of the long defunct Troy & Schenectady Railroad (aka New York Central, Penn Central, Conrail, and lastly D&H). richard _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
