>(I hope that this abandoned:railway=rail has still some remains in terrain if it mapped)

While not always followed, and it's often a judgement call, the rule
would be to use railway=razed instead of railway=abandoned and then
use the similar razed:railway=rail/subway/light_rail/tram, etc.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:railway under railway=abandoned says:
The course of a former railway which has been abandoned and the track
removed. The course is still recognized through embankments, cuttings,
tree rows, bridges, tunnels, remaining track ties, building shapes and
rolling or straight ways. For demolished rails that are no longer
identifiable, e.g. that have been built over, use railway=razed
