###¤¤*/~^, 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. ,^~/*¤¤###
