¤$*^~^¨¨¨¨ trains are so constructed that they ¨¨¨¨^~^*$¤
$*^~^¨¨¨¨¨ have to follow a set path. this path is ¨¨¨¨¨^~^*$
*^~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~^*
$*^~^¨¨¨¨¨ scattered, often put on top of poles, ¨¨¨¨¨^~^*$
¤$*^~^¨¨¨¨ to be interpreted by the train drivers. ¨¨¨¨^~^*$¤
@¤$*^~^¨¨¨ different parts of the railway have ¨¨¨^~^*$¤@
#@¤$*^~^¨¨ different speed limits. ¨¨^~^*$¤@#
##@¤$*^~^¨ ¨^~^*$¤@##
#@¤$*^~^¨¨ sometimes, trains have to stop and wait ¨¨^~^*$¤@#
@¤$*^~^¨¨¨ for something to happen, far away. this ¨¨¨^~^*$¤@
¤$*^~^¨¨¨¨ is signaled by red or green lights. ¨¨¨¨^~^*$¤

¤$*^~^¨¨¨¨ many people follow the rails by foot. ¨¨¨¨^~^*$¤
@¤$*^~^¨¨¨ often this proves to be the shorter ¨¨¨^~^*$¤@
#@¤$*^~^¨¨ path between two points. however this ¨¨^~^*$¤@#
##@¤$*^~^¨ is frowned upon, and very impolite ¨^~^*$¤@##
#@¤$*^~^¨¨ toward the train drivers! ¨¨^~^*$¤@#
