¨.~\§$§### trains are so constructed that they ###§$§\~.¨
¨.~\§$§### have to follow a set path. this path is ###§$§\~.¨
¨.~\§$§### called a "railway", which is comprised ###§$§\~.¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~§§ 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. ##§§§§\~.¨
