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!
