"Mapnik" the software is just fine; it's our "standard" map that's the
problem.
This was discussed to death on
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/542 and frankly
there's nothing more to be said that hasn't already been said there on
the subject.
However please DO tag what's on the ground. Just because one online map
is incapable of rendering large physical features as they appear is not
a good reason to tag things incorrectly. Other maps do render abandoned
railways; if the "standard" map doesn't work for you, don't use it (it
doesn't for me and I don't).
Cheers,
Andy
