Sucking Transformer        
                                    
         
                                          
 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.
