I've given up arguing. I treat deletion of abandoned railways as 
vandalism and just fix it. Not seeing something is no reason to delete 
it -- because someone else might be able to see it. This is my classic 
example:

How do you explain why this building is a triangle without mapping the 
abandoned railroad which ran along its hypotenuse? Once you do that, it 
becomes obvious.
