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.
