¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ the railmakers are siemens-manufactured ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ brick-like things. fields of gray and ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ teal, floodlights, thrumming and ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ hissing. trilling to each other, like ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ language. and here, three of them, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ slowly making their way through the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ as to be unable to move - they will ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ stay in the path of the railmaker, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ forcing it to pause, further separating ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
