Jesus.

Railway=disused is a railway that is no longer used but where the
track remains and infrastructure is in place. Railway=abandoned is a
tag to map former railways, where the rails have been removed but the
route is still visible in some way. Railway=dismantled is used to tag
a former railway, where mostly all evidence of the line has been
removed.
