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!
