;«:,,,,,,, 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 ,,:«;†¤&£#
