This feature has been labeled as deprecated. The recommended replacement is: railway=station mapped as an area.
The reason is documented in Deprecated features. You are still free to continue to use or interpret this tag as you see fit since OpenStreetMap does not have “banned features”.
Under no circumstances should you (semi-)automatically change “deprecated” tags to something else in the database on a large scale without conforming to the automated edits code of conduct. Any such change will be reverted.

railway=facility is a type of site relation connecting infrastructure elements of a railway operating site, such as tracks, switches, platforms, buildings and stop positions. The tagging is similar to public_transport=stop_area but it's also used for non-public railway operating sites.
Note that interlockings are not operating sites.
