Actually it was pmailkey who changed the tags on that structure a few months back and did other incorrect changes to what's left of the viaduct. I've now reverted.

A viaduct/bridge etc actually has nothing to do with a railway per se. It’s a structural object in its own right. What we should be doing is rendering the bridge structure first and then if appropriate putting a way over the top if the structure is in use in some way - whether original railway (current or disused), unofficial footpath or designated cycleway etc. Vauxhall/Bordesley Viaduct in Birmingham was built to carry a railway over it but was never used because the rail connection was never made. Its currently tagged as railway=disused but that’s not really true.

Call me a cynic, but I wonder if that was someone simply "tagging for the renderer"? If there are no in-situ rails, it's not "disused".
