.......¤¤¤ 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 ...¤...¤¤¤

¤¤.......¤ is frowned upon, and very impolite .....¤...¤
