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.
