,^-\*£&£## 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 ££&&£*\-^,
