#&=*-^¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨^-*=&

*-^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^-

&=*-^¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨^-*=##

##&=*-^¨¨¨ trains go by day and by night. along ¨¨¨^-*=#
