Very useful thanks.

So I guess I should tag it as ' railway=rail, tracks=1, oneway=yes,  
freight=yes, passenger=no, note="two tracks, but one disused and  
overgrown" '

I haven't seen one-way used for railways before and I haven't seen  
freight=yes or passenger=0. Any better suggestions?


Regards,


Peter
