Refers to railway service, and does not describe what's on the ground.

No.

"railway=abandoned" has been used from almost year 0 in OSM to indicate "where the rails have been removed but the route is still visible in some way". See http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dabandoned .

And yes, if it's a "highway=track" now, you can of course map it as that as well. If it's not visible (e.g. someone's build a factory on it) it's NOT "railway=abandoned".

Cheers,

Andy
