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!
