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!
