[OSM-newbies] bike rail trail as built vs as proposed and imported

[Bill Ricker]

The Upper Charles Trail was included in the MASSgis import. It has a
note="under construction". As imported and proposed, it slavishly
followed a passenger and freight line straight to the center of town,
but Milford sensibly added scenic curves and grades, connecting a
picnic area and municipal ball fields, and using an interchange
underpass instead of digging anew where I-495 had obliterated the
rail. As fair as I can tell from web, it may not be completed much
beyond where I explored on foot in Milford.

What are the tags for abandoned RR right of way that is NOT a
biketrail, but still visible?

Is there any value to keeping the MASSGIS tags for the old right of
way and proposed route where it has been blocked by re-grading,
housing development, and or foliage?

How much of the MASSGIS tags should be copied to the as-built path, if any?
