I'm unsure of the difference between passenger_lines=* & tracks=*.
Reading the wiki page, it appears the writer is confused as well,
stating in the last paragraph, that the 'passenger' bit is redundant as
"all kinds of tracks connecting the same railway stations or junction
should be counted with no regard to the train services running on it." &
it's a "workaround" for tracks.

Putting tracks=1 on multiple parallel tracks is also potentially
misleading. It's a method of tagging that's been superseded by drawing
each line separately.
So I took to adding passenger_lines=N, to avoid a compatability
conflict. I only did N=1 or N>=4, though.
I'd suggest converting the tagging to tracks=1+passenger_lines=2.

I have asked WJtW about this in june this year but received no
answer. Then I saw user BAGgeraar remove the tracks tag so I asked
him about it and he too asked WJtW and received no answer.
On the german forum there is a thread [1] about it also indicating
it is a superfluous tag when all tracks are mapped.
It borders on vandalism.

Hi,
User WJtW[1] has been making large numbers of edits to
railways across
Europe in the past few months, all with the changeset comment
"Electrified". Most of them are adding tags like gauge=1435
which may
well be right (although I have no idea of his source for this).
However on many occasions he has added tracks=N to the individual
tracks where they are already mapped as N separate tracks.
According
to the wiki this should now be interpreted as N*N tracks. For
example,
the Channel Tunnel Rail Link south-east of London, is composed
of two
tracks (see [2] for a sample way). They are now both tagged with
tracks=2, saying that each way represents 2 tracks, suggesting
there
are 4 in total, which is wrong.
I have sent two messages explaining as above and requesting
that they
review this tagging, but no response so far. I noticed that
another
mapper has also added a comment to at least one changeset with the
same intent.
Any ideas how we can stop this behaviour, and repair the "damage"?
