Is there a railway bridge over the cycle track or does the cycle track go through a tunnel?

Don't forget to include a layer= tag. layer=1 for bridge layer=-1 for tunnel.

You have to create a separate way.

Have a look at the Bay Trail here:

Either, put them into a relation or name all the ways that make up the track.  You can not have a single way with different tags between different nodes.  It's not a work arround, that's one of the correct ways to do it.
