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!
