#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ a type of transformer (an electrical ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#
##$%*~.¨¨¨ component) found mainly along railway ¨¨¨.~*%$##
###$%*~.¨¨ lines. they're usually mounted halfway ¨¨.~*%$###
####$%*~.¨ between the rails and the overhead ¨.~*%$####
###$%*~.¨¨ powerlines. ¨¨.~*%$###

#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ as far as transformers go, these are ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#
$%*~.¨¨¨¨¨ ~very big~. instead, not as many are ¨¨¨¨¨.~*%$
#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ needed. among all rail-adjacent ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#

#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ the railpeople are in general very ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#
$%*~.¨¨¨¨¨ secretive about their symbols and ¨¨¨¨¨.~*%$
#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ machines, so also with the this ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#
##$%*~.¨¨¨ transformer. what we know is what we ¨¨¨.~*%$##
###$%*~.¨¨ can observe. ¨¨.~*%$###
####$%*~.¨ ¨.~*%$####
###$%*~.¨¨ a sucking transformer is surrounded by ¨¨.~*%$###
##$%*~.¨¨¨ two signs, both around twenty four ¨¨¨.~*%$##
#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ meters to each side of it. tranins do ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#
$%*~.¨¨¨¨¨ not stop between these signs during any ¨¨¨¨¨.~*%$
#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ circumstances - if the choice is ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#
##$%*~.¨¨¨ between halting within, or running into ¨¨¨.~*%$##
###$%*~.¨¨ another train just outside, they prefer ¨¨.~*%$###
####$%*~.¨ colliding. ¨.~*%$####
###$%*~.¨¨ ¨¨.~*%$###
##$%*~.¨¨¨ water avoids them. in light rain, the ¨¨¨.~*%$##
#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ ground closest to a transformer stays ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#
$%*~.¨¨¨¨¨ dry. a common sight is a creek or ¨¨¨¨¨.~*%$
#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ stream making a half-circle detour. ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#
##$%*~.¨¨¨ generally, sucking transformers are not ¨¨¨.~*%$##
###$%*~.¨¨ placed near to larger bodies of water. ¨¨.~*%$###

$%*~.¨¨¨¨¨ is poorly understood. they seem to pull ¨¨¨¨¨.~*%$
#$%*~.¨¨¨¨ in stray fields and electricities. ¨¨¨¨.~*%$#
