Place=locality tag is reserved for populated areas. It is misleading to use it for a milestone. I suggest to adapt the highway=milestone tag for railways. This type of tag is showed at lower zoom levels.

    <tag k='railway' v='milestone' />
    <tag k='information' v='guidepost' />
    <tag k='name' v='name ...' />
