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!
