Description
As far as I can tell, railways are currently not included in the tiles until zoom level 11. I'd argue that mainline railways are equally important as major roads, and so should be visible at the same zoom level.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the tile-generation or cartographic style configuration that controls railway visibility, then compare railway and major-road rendering at lower zooms. Done means mainline railways are visible at the same zoom level as major roads.
