####§†^~,¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨~^†¤¤#

###¤§†^~,¨ the railpeople are in general very ¨,~^†§¤###

###¤§†^~,¨ 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 ¨,~^†§¤###
