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!
