I notice that abandoned railways are now being rendered on Mapnik. I'm not sure that this is a good idea. Fairly near to me there are a few abandoned railway that have been made into footpaths or cycle paths and they are tagged as such and render as such. There are also a few abandoned railways that have gently melted into the landscape, with no feature left visible on the ground, yet these are displaying on the Mapnik render. I think these would be better preserved on a dedicated railway map and leave Mapnik for things that can be seen on the ground today. Mapnik is one of the principal views of our work to the public - I'd like to keep it relevant to that.
