,,&,&,,,&, 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. ,,,&&&,,,&
