@##&†:«,¨¨ 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 ¨,«:†#@#

@##&†:«,¨¨ the railpeople are in general very ¨¨,«:†#@
#@##&†:«,¨ secretive about their symbols and ¨,«:†#@#
@##&†:«,¨¨ machines, so also with the this ¨¨,«:†#@

#@##&†:«,¨ ¨,«:†#@#
@##&†:«,¨¨ 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. ¨¨,«:†#@
