¨§¨§§¨§¨§¨ 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 §¨§¨§§¨§¨§
