#§\-:,,,,, a type of transformer (an electrical ,,,,,:-\§#
§\-:,,,,,, component) found mainly along railway ,,,,,,:-\§
\-:,,,,,,, lines. they're usually mounted halfway ,,,,,,,:-\

:,,,,,,,,, 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 ,,,,:-\§#@

###@#§\-:, 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 ,,,,,,,:-\

:,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,:
,,,,,,,,,, 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. ,,,,,,,,,,
