¨#¨#¨#¨¨#¨ #¨##¨#¨##¨
##¨#¨#¨##¨ 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. #¨##¨#¨##¨
