#@£%*;«,,, 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. ,,,,,,,«;*

##@£%*;«,, is poorly understood. they seem to pull ,,«;*%£@##
#@£%*;«,,, in stray fields and electricities. ,,,«;*%£@#
