,^~^%¤#@## 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 #%~^,,,,,,
