#####@^†=~ 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 ¨~=†^@@###
