,,,,,;%%@# 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. #@%;«,,,,,
