&¨&¨¨&¨&¨& ¨&¨&¨&&¨&¨
&¨&¨&&¨&¨¨ 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. ¨&¨&¨&&¨&¨
