To check, did you mean abandoned railway? Dismantled railways *could* 
return to full usage  (I'm not advocating the use of end_date)

> Anyway, end_date is just as broken as disused=yes, abandoned=yes, ruins=yes or any other qualifier that says that something is not any more what the other tags say.

Again to check, how would you tag this:

Is this not acceptable?:
historic=castle
ruins=yes
