&.&&..&.&. 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. &&.&.&.&..
