Hallo Alex,

I think that the OpenRailwayMap mailing list is not the right place for this question because the project focusses on infrastructure, not train routes and traffic in general.
You are right, but:
When doing the peaces shorter and shorter one could come to a tagging scheme tagging rail roads ("Fahrstraßen"). And then it's a matter of infrastructure.
In reality control boxes can use the principle of fixed rail roads ("tabellarisches Prinzip") or use a dynamic path finding process ("topologisches Prinzip").
I'm not joking, I see it coming having rail roads and then the train only goes over these rail roads, meaning to have a relation with rail roads as members.
Having a train route on infrastructure is a good way to validate it, seeing if all speeds and signals are set correct (when having a tool for it, as is seems to come up).
