¨-~^*%£¶¶# 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 #££%^~~¨¨¨

¨-~^^^^%%¶ 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. ¶¶%*^^^~-¨
