†-,,,,,,,, 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. ,,,,,,,,,,

##@§*%†-,, 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 ,,,,,-†%*§

,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, 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. ,,,,,,,,,,
