#@#§£**-^¨ 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 ¨^-**£§#@#

@#£*-^^¨¨¨ 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 ¨^-**£§@##
