¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ A TYPE OF TRANSFORMER (AN ELECTRICAL ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨, COMPONENT) FOUND MAINLY ALONG RAILWAY ,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,- LINES. THEY'RE USUALLY MOUNTED HALFWAY -,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨, 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 -,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
