On the OpenRailwayMap map usage=tourism is listed under Infrastructure
not Railway lines/routes so seems appropriate for my case.

Any active passenger railway is, among other usages, for tourism. So
usage=tourism seems to be redundant.

Well, the track IS operated, so the fact that it used to be part of
a larger network is less important than its current condition.
So I would tag the track railway=rail with the usual additional
tags for name, operator, gauge etc.
It is used purely for tourism, so usage=tourism would be added.
Now I would look at the inventory of that line: Do they still use
historic equipment, maybe from the time when this used to be part of a
larger network? If so, historic=railway would be tagged. Are the
tracks
and signaling still preserved from the days of the old network or have
they been renewed with current equipment? If preserved, add
railway:preserved=yes.
