¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨:
