.......... trains are so constructed that they ..........

^......... called a "railway", which is comprised .........^

†~^....... .......^~†
%†~^...... 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. ....^~†%§&

~^........ scattered, often put on top of poles, ........^~

%†~^...... different parts of the railway have ......^~†%
