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!
