##†;«.,,,, a type of transformer (an electrical ,,,,.«;†##

#@##†;«.,, 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 ,.«;†##@##

@##†;«.,,, dry. a common sight is a creek or ,,,.«;†##@
##†;«.,,,, stream making a half-circle detour. ,,,,.«;†##
