#&†~¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨~†&#
###&£†^~~¨ 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. ¨~~^†£&###
