¶¤&†^-~¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨~-^†&¤
