The only thing which may be acceptable is reusing the same nodes for two different ways, but only if they are on exactly the same location, which is actually quite rare.

What to do is explained in the OSM wiki at ... <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railways" target="_blank">Railways</a><br>
<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
purely from a line of trees around an original cutting or
embankment. Use <tt style="background-color:rgb(224,224,240);white-space:pre-wrap" dir="ltr"><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:railway" title="Key:railway" target="_blank">railway</a>=<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dabandoned" title="Tag:railway=abandoned" target="_blank">abandoned</a></tt>. Where it has
been reused as a cycle path then add <tt style="background-color:rgb(224,224,240);white-space:pre-wrap" dir="ltr"><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway" title="Key:highway" target="_blank">highway</a>=<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dcycleway" title="Tag:highway=cycleway" target="_blank">cycleway</a></tt>. Consider
adding a <tt style="background-color:rgb(224,224,240);white-space:pre-wrap" dir="ltr"><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:end_date" title="Key:end date" target="_blank">end_date</a>=*</tt> tag or more

tag.

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>
