920One thinks of railway steel as a surface on which trains ride. But perhaps it serves a dual purpose. Perhaps it means something to the earth beneath it, too – a cage? A brace? An adornment?
930, 940, 950, 980, 990The substance is toxic, but only in some circumstances. And what metabolic changes might render it safe to consume?
