OSM is not *only* for general tourist.
I bet even a general tourist would be interested if they could be assured that 
a route was flat :)
And didn't have buildings or factories built on it ;)

Home owners would not be happy with tourists walking through lunch because OSM 
has a tourist/railline line through their house.

Factory OH&S people would be very upset with tourists walking through the 
factory because OSM has a tourist/railline line through the factory.
The tourists would not be impressed with the 'railway' either if there was 
nothing 'railway' to see, even if the route is flat.

A general tourist walking along a road that has no sign of a railway would not 
be impressed if it were shown as a railway on OSM.
Other road users would be perplexed if the road were shown as a railway...


If it's a recognized route that's signposted as something like
"Historical Railway Trail" then it can be a relation.

As a walking route, yes. It is no longer a railway, that is in the past.

  If it's not
signposted and there's no trace of it left on the ground, what exactly
is being mapped?

History?
