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!
