Status

This dimension groups transport infrastructure by whether it is still in active use, preserved or abandoned. A heritage railway, for instance, is "a railway operated as living history to re-create or preserve railway scenes of the past," per Wikipedia, a status quite different from an ordinary working line. Browsing by status separates infrastructure still doing its original job from infrastructure kept only for its history.
