@@@¨¨¨@@@¨ a type of transformer (an electrical ¨@¨@@¨¨¨¨¨
@¨@@¨¨@¨@@ component) found mainly along railway ¨¨¨@@@¨¨¨¨
¨¨@@@¨¨¨@@ lines. they're usually mounted halfway ¨¨¨@¨@@¨¨¨
¨¨@¨@@¨¨@¨ between the rails and the overhead ¨¨¨¨¨@@@¨¨
¨¨¨¨@@@¨¨¨ powerlines. ¨¨¨¨¨@¨@@¨

¨¨@¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ a sucking transformer is surrounded by ¨@¨¨¨@@@¨¨
¨¨¨@¨¨¨¨¨¨ two signs, both around twenty four ¨¨@¨¨@¨@@¨
¨¨¨¨@¨¨¨¨¨ meters to each side of it. tranins do ¨¨¨@¨¨¨@@@

@@¨¨¨¨@¨¨¨ circumstances - if the choice is ¨¨¨¨¨@¨¨¨@
¨@@¨¨¨¨@¨¨ between halting within, or running into @¨¨¨¨¨@¨¨@
¨@@@¨¨¨¨@¨ another train just outside, they prefer ¨@¨¨¨¨¨@¨¨
¨@¨@@¨¨¨¨@ colliding. ¨¨@¨¨¨¨¨@¨
¨¨¨@@@¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨@¨¨¨¨¨@

¨¨@¨¨@¨@@¨ dry. a common sight is a creek or ¨¨@¨¨¨@¨¨¨
¨¨¨@¨¨¨@@@ stream making a half-circle detour. ¨¨¨@¨¨¨@¨¨
¨¨¨¨@¨¨@¨@ generally, sucking transformers are not @¨¨¨@¨¨¨@¨
