§¨§§¨§¨§¨¨ ¨§§¨§¨§¨§¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§¨§ 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. ¨§§¨§¨§¨§¨
