Does the trail follow exactly over the pipe in the ground? Probably
not, it most likely follows the ROW, with deviations here and there,
so I would be inclined to create a new way showing the trail.

The pipeline shows up when you hit edit because the pipeline is in the
database. You're just looking at a map rendering that doesn't display
pipelines underground. I don't know of one that does personally, but
it would be easy to create one. There's a lot of stuff in the database
that doesn't get rendered on the default Mapnik map style.
