Hi,
I looked at that location with the most recent imagery, but the railways are not there any more. You are probably using outdated data. I suggest using CTECO:2019 imagery or Maxar Premium. -
Comment from zluuzki
railway=abandoned (or Abandoned Railway preset) means "The track is gone, but there are still traces" E.g. Gravel, ties, embarkments, tree lines etc.
It does not mean "The track is out of service and overgrown." That would be railway=disused. -
Comment from Mashin
For embarkments, we have `embarkment=yes` or `man_made=embarkment`, for tree lines we have `natural=tree_row`, for gravel we have `surface=gravel`, etc.

Comment from conductorchris
I meant to tag a siding as abandoned, not disused. That was an accident.
I was at the site in person. Evidence of the former track is there (rails under pavement, old ties in bushes, the gradient, doors on buildings, etc), but the long section is - as noted by you all - abandoned.
I do in fact have access to outdated data (railroad surveys from throughout the twentieth century). It helps me understand what it is I'm seeing in the present.
Thanks for your help getting it right.
