How to delete a railroad from USGS TOPO and Delete is not available?

How do I delete a railroad where the source is "USGS TOPO" and Delete is not available?

The "Siler Logging Railroad" (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7368369) visible in this map (https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=13/47.6895/-122.0230) no longer exists. The area has been cleared, flattened, and developed or has become grown over and is no longer visible.

Note that the railroad may still appear outside of this map as I haven't personally verified but I highly doubt it.
