,~=:=$£¶## a type of transformer (an electrical ##¶£$=:=~,
,~=:=$¶### component) found mainly along railway ###¶$=:=~,
,~=:=$£¶## lines. they're usually mounted halfway ##¶£$=:=~,
,~=:=$£¶## between the rails and the overhead ##¶£$=:=~,
,,,,~~:=$£ powerlines. £$=:~~,,,,

,~=:=$£### as far as transformers go, these are ###£$=:=~,
,,,,,=:=$£ =very big=. instead, not as many are £$=:=,,,,,
,,,,,~===£ needed. among all rail-adjacent £===~,,,,,
,~=:::$£¶¶ artifacts/symbols, they belong to the ¶¶£$:::=~,

,~=:=$£¶## a sucking transformer is surrounded by ##¶£$=:=~,
,~=:=$£¶¶¶ two signs, both around twenty four ¶¶¶£$=:=~,
,~=::==$£¶ meters to each side of it. tranins do ¶£$==::=~,
