Those tags are for things that are still there, if what remains is still
identifiable as a building/railway/road/bridge then that should be
mapped in OSM.
Historic things should be mapped into OHM, even if they are no longer
there or still remain ( a start and end date are usefull in OHM as a
date slider can be used to revel what is there at that date).

Thanks. I'll try that.

Advise them to enter the historic railway into OHM ... or any
historic object for that matter. This satisfies them that the
object is mapped and frees OSM from it.
I like to download portions of the OSM database from Geofabrik and make
custom maps for my GPS. I also understand we're not supposed to map
historic objects in OSM, and why some people don't want to see
dismantled/razed railroads in the OSM database. Being a railfan, I am
one of those that do want them. Assuming all the dismantled railroads
in OSM were transferred to OHM, is there a way to take my OSM extracts
from Geofabrik and add in the dismantled railroads from OHM, so that the
resulting map would contain what I want? I know I can use JOSM to copy
data from OHM to OSM, but for a large geographic area I don't think that
would not be practical.
