¨¨¨¨&&&&¨& ¨&&&&&¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨&¨¨¨&&¨ 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. &¨&&¨¨&¨&&
