§*-,¨¨¨¨¨¨ lines. they're usually mounted halfway ¨¨¨¨¨¨,-*§

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ machines, so also with the this ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

§*-,¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
