Using Landmarks for Railways
[Split from UK Guidelines topic]

I think using landmarks for railways is a big mistake. There is no upside that I can see over using segments marked as "Railroad" (which is surely why these are here). Issues:
- They merge into other landmarks, including stations.
- The word "Railway" keeps appearing on the map, mostly for no apparent reason to the user.
- It's abuse of the landmark feaure, given that Railroad is a segment type.
- They look rubbish
- Long landmarks are hader to manage than segments.
- They look a mess in WME
