##@§%†«,,, 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 ,,,«†%§@##
