@@@@&*:=:¨ trains are so constructed that they ¨:=:*&@@@@
@&:::==¨¨¨ have to follow a set path. this path is ¨¨¨==:::&@
##¶@&*:=:¨ called a "railway", which is comprised ¨:=:*&@¶##
¶¶&*::==:¨ of two metal rails, hence its nickname. ¨:==::*&¶¶
##¶@&*:=:¨ ¨:=:*&@¶##
##¶@&*:=:¨ because the low friction between the ¨:=:*&@¶##
##¶@&*:=:¨ wheels of the train and the rail metal, ¨:=:*&@¶##
##¶@&*:=:¨ there are limits for how acute a curve ¨:=:*&@¶##
##¶@&*:=:¨ can be, and even more so for how much ¨:=:*&@¶##
##¶@&*:=:¨ the ground under the rails can be ¨:=:*&@¶##
##¶@&*:=:¨ sloped. thus a railway is often not led ¨:=:*&@¶##
¶¶&::==¨¨¨ on top of hills, rather through them in ¨¨¨==::&¶¶
@&::::¨¨¨¨ tunnels (if they are large), or ¨¨¨¨::::&@
##¶@&*:=:¨ artificial chasms. ¨:=:*&@¶##
##¶@&*:=:¨ ¨:=:*&@¶##
@*==::::¨¨ there will be trees on the side of the ¨¨::::==*@
##¶@&*:=:¨ rails, but not too close, or they will ¨:=:*&@¶##
##¶@&*:=:¨ be cut down by the railway janitors. ¨:=:*&@¶##
###@&*:=:¨ there will be plains, and bodies of ¨:=:*&@###
##¶@&*:=:¨ water. ¨:=:*&@¶##

@*:=¨¨¨¨¨¨ trains go by day and by night. along ¨¨¨¨¨¨=:*@
#¶@&::¨¨¨¨ the way, there is information ¨¨¨¨::&@¶#
#@@&:::¨¨¨ scattered, often put on top of poles, ¨¨¨:::&@@#
@&*:::¨¨¨¨ to be interpreted by the train drivers. ¨¨¨¨:::*&@
##¶@&*:=:¨ different parts of the railway have ¨:=:*&@¶##
@*==:¨¨¨¨¨ different speed limits. ¨¨¨¨¨:==*@
##¶@&*:=:¨ ¨:=:*&@¶##
###¶@&*:=: sometimes, trains have to stop and wait :=:*&@¶###
##¶@&*:=:¨ for something to happen, far away. this ¨:=:*&@¶##
###@&*:=:¨ is signaled by red or green lights. ¨:=:*&@###
