Sucking Transformer        
                                    
         
                                          
 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.
