What to do is explained in the OSM wiki at ... <a

<blockquote type="cite">Abandoned - The track has been removed and
the line may have been reused or left to decay but is still
clearly visible, either from the replacement infrastructure, or

It applies even if it now looks like a cycleway or anything but if
you can still clearly see where the railway has been. If Mapnik,
Garmin or other doesn't display or use that correctly, they say that
you must file a renderer bug.<br>
