¤††^^^.¨¨¨ 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 ¨.~^††††¤¤

¤§^~..¨¨¨¨ be cut down by the railway janitors. ¨¨¨¨..~^§¤
#¤¤§†~¨¨¨¨ there will be plains, and bodies of ¨¨¨¨~†§¤¤#

##@¤§†^~.¨ trains go by day and by night. along ¨.~^†§¤@##

###@¤†^~.¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨~^†§¤@
