When I work on tagging items that do not appear on the main map I use Overpass Turbo to track my changes. Since you can style the output, you might simulate the ORM rendering

So, paste this into http://overpass-turbo.eu, zooming into, say, the San Francisco Bay Area as bbox, run:

[out:json][timeout:25];
(
  way["railway"]({{bbox}});
);
out body;
;
out skel qt;

{{style:
way[usage=main] { color:orange;}
way[usage=branch] { color:yellow;}
way[usage=industrial] { color:brown;}
way[railway=abandoned] {color:red;}
}}

You'll get maybe three to ten megabytes back. Those (optional, yet quite tweakable and helpful) CSS style commands at the end are where the fun lies, I'm just playing around with this example. Awesome tool/approach to track changes before edit, simulating ORM (or other kinds of) rendering. If not way["railway"]({{bbox}}); try way["usage"]({{bbox}}); and look for differences. An infinity of possibilities awaits with this query-and-visualization (query-and-gather-data...) tool, and practice makes perfect in querying and seeing what you might like to see, but: truly neat-o!

Marc says he has gone to sleep already, but I haven't, so thanks, Marc.
