@$†:--¨¨¨¨ a type of transformer (an electrical ¨¨¨¨--:†$@
$†:--¨¨¨¨¨ component) found mainly along railway ¨¨¨¨¨--:†$
†:--¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨--:†
$†:--¨¨¨¨¨ superstition exist that they also ¨¨¨¨¨--:†$
@$†:--¨¨¨¨ affect spirits, gijinkas, and even the ¨¨¨¨--:†$@
