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!
