Good idea sharing nodes, that's doable but a bit tricky with JOSM. I
wonder about other editors.
I would however make a short test to see what Osmose say about it
(rightly or not).
There's a floating rule that ways cannot overlap unless making areas
share the same limits (e.g. buildings).
I would raise the layer=* of the railway. I seem to think overlapping is
allowed then.
I swear I don't map for the render but that doesn't stop me wondering
what it will be.

Cheers

André.
