My criteria is: if there are still rails in place, then it's railway=disused; and if the tracks are gone but you can still see evidence of it then it's railway=abandoned. If it's been bulldozed into nonexistance, then it's railway:historical=abandoned. There are other tags which indicate whether the right-of-way is usable for passage and by whom. -- Russ Nelson - http://community.cloudmade.com/blog - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:RussNelson r...@cloudmade.com - Twitter: Russ_OSM - http://openstreetmap.org/user/RussNelson _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
