###£@§/~,, 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 ,,,~/§@£##
