¨¨,=^*@§## 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. ###§@*^=,¨
