RAILS                  
                                          
                                          
  
                                          
  
                                          
                                          
 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. 
                                          
                                  
                                          
 MANY  PEOPLE  FOLLOW THE RAILS  BY FOOT. 
 OFTEN THIS  PROVES  TO  BE  THE  SHORTER 
 PATH  BETWEEN TWO POINTS.  HOWEVER  THIS 
 IS  FROWNED   UPON,  AND  VERY  IMPOLITE 
         TOWARD THE TRAIN DRIVERS!
