¨&¨&¨&¨&&¨ 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. ¨&¨¨&¨&¨&¨
