We don't have a tag denoting whether a line is > a subdivision or a lead. Looking at the BNSF Southwest Division map [1] and the FRA data for Apache County, AZ [2], it doesn't appear the line is formally a "subdivision." Therefore, it shouldn't be called the "Springerville Subdivision," and it should be named based on what it looks like: a really long lead. I still think it should be tagged with usage=branch, though.
