,,~-:^*§## 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. ##§*^:-~,,

,~-:^*§### often  this  proves  to be  the  shorter ###§*^:-~,
,,~-:^*§## path  between  two  points. however this ##§*^:-~,,
,~-:^*§### is  frowned  upon,   and  very  impolite ###§*^:-~,
