¨¨¨~==*%&# 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. ~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
