,,«;§&@£## 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 ##£@&§;«,,
