##&&†^^¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨^^-††&##
