    Hi<br>
    I'm confused.<br>
    <br>
    I've a length of railway track that runs along part of a disused
    line. It's not connected to the current network & run purely for
    tourism.<br>
    <br>
    Both KeepRight & Osmose flag an error for 'railway=preserved'
    tags:<br>
    "This way uses deprecated tag 'railway=preserved'. Please use
    "historic=railway + railway=rail (or whatever type) +
    railway:preserved=yes" instead!"<br>
    <br>
    Apart from those recommendations being listed in reverse order of
    importance, it appears to contradict with a few wiki pages:<br>
    <br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railways">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railways</a> says 'railway=preserved'
    is still OK to use.<br>
    <br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dpreserved">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dpreserved</a> says
    'railway=preserved' is not really liked (note: it doesn't mention
    'historic=railway')<br>
    <br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging</a> says
    'railway:preserved' should be used but note it says
    'historic=railway' "Should be used in conjunction with <code>railway=disused</code>,
    <code>railway=abandoned</code>, and <code>railway=razed"</code>
    which contradicts KeepRight/Osmose.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Any railway experts able to clarify?<br>
    <br>
    Thanks<br>
