###£%^~^¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨^~^%£##

#£%^~^¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~^%
