the main tracks of the "Brockenbahn" and the "Harzquerbahn" are tagged
with usage=tourism (btw. usage=tourism is not 100% correct for the
Harzquerbahn as this line is also used for regular public transport).

Currently the renderer does not show tracks that are tagged with
usage=tourism. There is a ticket for it
(https://github.com/rurseekatze/OpenRailwayMap/issues/40), but we have
not found a suitable color for these lines. I think as a first step, we will
render those lines in black in the next few days.

For your information: The main tracks are not rendered as crossover
tracks ("Überleitgleis"), they are not rendered on the overlay. It
appears that they are rendered as crossover tracks because of their
rendering in the basemap . Select "No background map" in the layer
selection to see this.

Alex
