We probably need a value such as railway=inactive for routes that are not in use, but still have the rails in place. The only problem is that, if someone erroneously tags an active but little-used route as inactive, this could lead to an accident if someone went hiking or rail-biking on the route.Hello got some questions about Railroads,I have a passion for the preservation of railroads and the maps surrounding them. I both update current map data with a line per each track. Track is in most cases two rails attached by a sleeper or tie. I have over 10,000 edits over on GMM and under 4,000 with OSM.I am mostly coming to ask about historic railroads and how to map them.In my area we have lots of rail trails, these trails mostly have been mapped bybicycle=yes foot=yes highway=cycleway horse=yes name=John Wayne Pioneer Trail note=railway=abandoned indicates a rail-trail old_railway_operator=Milwaukee railway=abandoned Ect......Is this the way that we should be mapping these as there are historic attributes.For instance we could add. historic=ruins ruins=railroad or we could remove railway=abandonedbut in this case the railroad is rail banked and could be brought out of abandoned status.We have other routes in the state that are not rail banked and are historic and are not seen as abandoned.Best Regards, Nathan Proudfoot email: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
