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!
