[openrailwaymap] Tagging "errors" at California/Railroads at OSM wiki

Hi Steve,

I have read the wiki page
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/California/Railroads and found some
tagging issues.

*railway=abandoned/disused/razed*
Could you please add
abandoned:railway=rail/light_rail/tram/narrow_gauge/…,
disused:railway=rail/light_rail/tram/narrow_gauge/… and
razed:railway=rail/light_rail/tram/narrow_gauge/…. We as OpenRailwayMap
developers plan to support abandoned:railway=*, disused:railway=* and
razed:railway=* in near future because a simple railway=disused does not
tell the data user if it was a normal railroad or a tram or a monorail.
That's why we suggest to tag both railway=disused/abandoned/razed AND
disused/abandoned/razed:railway=rail/tram/narrow_gauge/…

*usage=freight*
It is right that usage=freight is deprecated. But changing all
usage=freight to usage=industrial is wrong. usage=freight is the old tag
for railway:traffic_mode=freight. There are lots of not-industrial
railway lines which are only used by freight trains.

usage=industrial is intended as a seperate railway line which is used
inside a large factory. For example, the tracks at BASF works in
Ludwigshafen are tagged usage=industrial. The same applies for the
railway lines (they are no public railway lines, called Nord-Süd-Bahn
and Hambachtalbahn) between brown coal mines and the power plants west
of Cologne.

http://www.openrailwaymap.org/?lang=de&lat=51.001522273512734&lon=6.659560203552246&zoom=14&style=standard

*service=spur*
service=spur is intended to be used on tracks from a station to a
neighbouring company. Usually these tracks are no independent railway
lines and shorter than a mile.

*light rail, tram and subway*
There are no hard criteria to differentiate between light rails, trams
and subways. We developed a criteria catalogue which should support
tagging decisions at Bad Nauheim Meeting in October 2014.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Aktiventreffen_2014_2#light_rail

Did you understand the ORM tagging page at OSM wiki the wrong way (i.e.
we should improve this page)?

Best regards

Michael
