Sucking Transformer        
                                    
         
                                          
 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.
