&§†-¨¨¨¨¨¨ trains  are  so  constructed  that  they ¨¨¨¨¨¨-†§&
&&§§==†-^¨ have to follow  a set path. this path is ¨^-†==§§&&
###&§=†-^¨ called a  "railway", which  is comprised ¨^-†=§&###

#&§===†-^¨ 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 ¨^-†=§&###

&§††-¨¨¨¨¨ trains go by day  and  by  night.  along ¨¨¨¨¨-††§&
###&§=†-^¨       the way, there is information      ¨^-†=§&###
###&§=†-^¨ scattered,  often  put  on top of poles, ¨^-†=§&###
