On the OpenRailwayMap map usage=tourism is listed under
Infrastructure not Railway lines/routes so seems appropriate for my
case.<br>

Well, the track IS operated, so the fact that it used to be
part of<br>
a larger network is less important than its current
condition.<br>
So I would tag the track railway=rail with the usual
additional<br>
tags for name, operator, gauge etc.<br>
It is used purely for tourism, so usage=tourism would be
added.<br>
Now I would look at the inventory of that line: Do they
still use<br>
historic equipment, maybe from the time when this used to be
part of a<br>
larger network? If so, historic=railway would be tagged. Are
the tracks<br>
and signaling still preserved from the days of the old
network or have<br>
they been renewed with current equipment? If preserved, add<br>
railway:preserved=yes.<br>
