Examples
Pipelines
In Wikipedia, there is an article about pipelines. Here, there is a pipeline (maybe we could copy this file in the description of this wiki page) that we draw as a line with tags: man_made=pipeline, location=overground, type=oil, operator=BP (for example).
Pipelines markers
In some places, the pipelines are underground. For seeing where those pipelines are, there are pipeline markers (see pipeline=marker). You have to draw them as nodes of a pipeline and tag as appropiate tag. The following are examples of pipeline markers:
