¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨&¨ 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. ¨&&&¨¨&¨&¨
