Sucking Transformer        
                                    
         
                                          
 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.
