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!
