Nobody has told me how I can create a relation which hops between OSM
and OHM. Nobody has told me how I can have a node keep the same
location in both OSM and OHM. Nobody has told me how I can tag a way
which exists in OSM as railway=abandoned in OHM.

I have a different solution, one which works today and doesn't require
some fantasy software to be invented later: Map entities which are
partially destroyed and partially existing, and tag them exactly that
way.

You want to know what's different, Frederik? This go-around, I now
understand the problem that I'm facing: that OSM putatively rejects
historical objects, and yet the object in this case is a railway which
is partially gone and partially present, but what is to be mapped is
not the parts, but the whole.

Not asking you to do it. Asking that you support a policy of allowing
it.
