¨-~^*§§### 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 §**^-¨¨¨¨¨
