,¤,,,,¤,,, 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 ,,¤,,,,,¤¤
