What everybody can see is a clearing or change in the surface of
something. That's fine to map.

Inferring from that that there must have been a railway there is a step
too far. We are mappers, not trappers.

Also I have the impression that, contrary to what you're saying, at
least some proponents of abandoned railway mapping find it totally ok to
map an abandoned railway that "leads through" a modern day housing
development.

Bye
Frederik
