Relations of type type=railway are currently documented for use only in combination with railway=interlocking, describing the interlocking controlled by a signal box. This usage accounts for approximately half the relations of this type in OpenStreetMap.
Uses
This tagging is documented at railway=interlocking.
This tagging is only used on some railway lines in Switzerland, tagged by a single user. Its meaning is unclear.
Other
Other values reach at most low double-digit use counts. These include railway=facility and railway=site. They mostly seem to be non-standard taggings of operating site relations, which should use type=site or type=public_transport instead.
