,,,,,,,,~^ A Type Of Transformer (An Electrical ^~,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,~^* Component) Found Mainly Along Railway *^~,,,,,,,
,,,,,,~^*£ Lines. They'Re Usually Mounted Halfway £*^~,,,,,,

,,,~^*£&¶# ~Very Big~. Instead, Not As Many Are #¶&£*^~,,,

,,,,,~^*£& Two Signs, Both Around Twenty Four &£*^~,,,,,
,,,,,,~^*£ Meters To Each Side Of It. Tranins Do £*^~,,,,,,
,,,,,,,~^* Not Stop Between These Signs During Any *^~,,,,,,,
