Not if it has significant meaning enough.... which is kind of misty as a description.
There have been some discussions about this on the general mailing list a while back. afaik, you can keep it in there as long as it define(d|s) the landscape but received a different purpose.. like a cycleway that follows the bedding of the old railway. e.g. the cut is still there, the rail is gone but the silhouette can still be distinguished. But the moment that historic railway starts crossing through current buildings it shoots past the purpose and indeed as Jo suggests is perfect for openhistoricalmap. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Historical_Map Glenn Some links on the subject: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Demolished_Railway http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Railways#Abandoned_railways_where_all_evidence_has_been_removed On 07-01-15 20:26, Jo wrote: > Seems like something for OpenHistoricMap to me.
