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!
