¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-~ 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 -¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨-~†* 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
