Hi Paul:
I completely agree that railways in OSM from TIGER can use review and
improvement. So much so that I have written this paragraph in our
wiki as a suggestive process to do so:

I invite you and everybody reading talk-us to roll up your sleeves
and pitch in: with hundreds of thousands of miles of rail in the
USA, there is a lot of work ahead to improve our national rail
infrastructure!
We can complete these tasks simultaneously -- I don't think one is
necessarily prerequisite to the other.
