&&,,,,,,&& 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! ,&,,,,,,,,
