¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨&&&¨¨¨&¨
