[Talk-us] Abandoned railway

[Volker Schmidt]

I would be a little bit more careful:

If no bits of the railway survive, remove it. But if some bits are still
there (e.g. buildings converted to different use, some pieces of railway
bed, ...) it may be useful to maintain also some abandoned and now
invisible objects in the database in order to be able to understand the
former structure.

Just a consideration ...
