¨¨~«**¤¤@# 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. #@¤¤**«~¨¨
