##£&@%/~,, 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 ,,~/%@&£##
