The former track and its stations were previously incorrectly tagged with railway=station which meant that they showed up on the default OSM layer, in navigation apps and other places where they should not appear. I and others have been changing them to the correct railway:historic=station_site or railway:historic=station as per the consensus here: <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railway_stations#Stations_and_sites_which_are_not_currently_in_operation">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railway_stations#Stations_and_sites_which_are_not_currently_in_operation</a>. Unfortunately, every time these tags have been corrected, the user has changed them back.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One of the recent instances is here: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4695022174/history">https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4695022174/history</a> </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have tried messaging the user twice but no response was received and, as of eight days ago, the reverting has continued.
