¨,~†**&&## 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. #&**†,¨¨¨¨

¨,~†**&### is poorly understood. they seem to pull ###&**†~,¨

¨,~†**&### superstition exist that they also ###&**†~,¨
