###§£=:~,, 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. ,,,~:=£§##
