An abandoned line with some rails is almost certainly a topographical feature, called "old railway grade" in the USGS topo maps. I can see your point where the only trace is lot shapes. But I see a lot of things where there is clearly a cut/fill topography and the railbed itself is a feature on the ground. Deleting something with a comment by someone who has actually been there and looked is one thing. I think Russ is objecting to remote deletionists who aren't actually observing if there is a ground feature, in a particular case when Russ knows full well there IS a ground feature.
