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!
