,,~^%@## 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 ##@#&%^~,,
