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

^†«,¨¨¨¨¨¨ «very big«. instead, not as many are ¨¨¨¨¨¨,«†^
£^†«,¨¨¨¨¨ needed. among all rail-adjacent ¨¨¨¨¨,«†^£

«,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,
