Greetings,
Last week I was tracing around the Cedar City Regional Airport and added
a short piece of railway while I was there. The railways I added
connect to existing ways tagged railway=spur so I tagged "mine" the
same.

The airport runways, taxiways, and aprons now show on the slippy map but
the railways are missing. I admit I fall firmly in the "don't tag for
the renderer" camp but I did get curious and checked the wiki. Sure
enough, I found "railway=rail" and "service=spur" but no "railway=spur".
I suspect this is an artifact of the TIGER conversion but wanted to
check on this list before I started changing "railway=spur" tags when I
occasionally come across them.

But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?
