¨¨¨¨¨###¨¨ 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. ¨#¨¨¨#¨¨#¨
