#@#&£§=~^¨ 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.               ¨¨¨^~=§£&#

@#&£§=~^¨¨    secretive about their symbols and     ¨¨^~=§£&#@
#@#&£§=~^¨ machines,   so   also   with  the   this ¨^~=§£&#@#
@#&£§=~^¨¨ transformer.  what  we know  is  what we ¨¨^~=§£&#@

#@#&£§=~^¨ 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. ¨¨¨^~=§£&#
