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.
