##¶&@^†~:¨ 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 ¨¨¨:~^^^&&

###¶@^†~:¨ secretive about their symbols and ¨:~†^@¶###
&^^~¨¨¨¨¨¨ machines, so also with the this ¨¨¨¨¨¨~^^&

#¶&&@^†~:¨ 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. ¨:~†^@&¶##

##¶&@^†~:¨ is poorly understood. they seem to pull ¨:~†^@&¶##

###¶&@†~:¨ superstition exist that they also ¨:~†@&¶###
