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.
