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.
