#¨###¨#¨¨¨ a type of transformer (an electrical #¨¨¨¨¨###¨
###¨¨###¨¨ component) found mainly along railway ¨#¨¨¨¨#¨¨#
¨¨¨#¨#¨¨#¨ lines. they're usually mounted halfway ¨##¨¨¨##¨#
#¨¨####¨## between the rails and the overhead ¨#¨#¨¨#¨##
¨#¨#¨¨¨##¨ powerlines. ¨####¨###¨
¨####¨¨#¨# ##¨¨¨##¨¨#
##¨¨¨#¨### as far as transformers go, these are #¨#¨¨#¨#¨#
¨¨#¨¨###¨¨ ~very big~. instead, not as many are ¨###¨#####
#¨##¨#¨¨#¨ needed. among all rail-adjacent ¨#¨¨##¨¨¨¨
###¨###¨## artifacts/symbols, they belong to the ¨##¨#¨#¨¨¨
#¨¨##¨¨##¨ rarer kind. ¨#¨#####¨¨

¨##¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ###¨##¨¨#¨
¨#¨#¨¨¨¨¨¨ the railpeople are in general very #¨¨##¨#¨##
#####¨¨¨¨¨ secretive about their symbols and ##¨#¨####¨
#¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨ machines, so also with the this ¨¨####¨¨¨#
¨#¨¨¨##¨¨¨ transformer. what we know is what we ¨¨#¨¨¨#¨¨#
###¨¨#¨#¨¨ can observe. ¨¨##¨¨##¨#
¨¨¨#¨####¨ #¨#¨#¨#¨##
#¨¨###¨¨¨# a sucking transformer is surrounded by #########¨
##¨#¨¨#¨¨# two signs, both around twenty four #¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨#
¨¨###¨##¨# meters to each side of it. tranins do ¨#¨¨¨¨¨¨¨#
#¨#¨¨##¨## not stop between these signs during any ¨##¨¨¨¨¨¨#
¨###¨#¨##¨ circumstances - if the choice is ¨#¨#¨¨¨¨¨#
##¨¨####¨# between halting within, or running into #####¨¨¨¨#
¨¨#¨#¨¨¨## another train just outside, they prefer ¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨#
#¨####¨¨#¨ colliding. #¨¨¨¨##¨¨#
¨##¨¨¨#¨## ¨#¨¨¨#¨#¨#
##¨#¨¨###¨ water avoids them. in light rain, the ###¨¨#####
¨¨###¨#¨¨# ground closest to a transformer stays #¨¨#¨#¨¨¨¨
¨¨#¨¨###¨# dry. a common sight is a creek or ##¨####¨¨¨
¨¨##¨#¨¨## stream making a half-circle detour. ¨¨##¨¨¨#¨¨
¨¨#¨###¨#¨ generally, sucking transformers are not #¨#¨#¨¨##¨
¨¨###¨¨### placed near to larger bodies of water. ######¨#¨#

¨##¨#¨#¨¨# their function for the rail environment ¨###¨¨#¨#¨
¨#¨#####¨# is poorly understood. they seem to pull ¨#¨¨#¨####
####¨¨¨¨## in stray fields and electricities. ¨##¨###¨¨¨
#¨¨¨#¨¨¨#¨ superstition exist that they also ##¨##¨¨#¨¨
##¨¨##¨¨## affect spirits, gijinkas, and even the #¨##¨#¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ souls of living creatures. ¨##¨####¨#
