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.
