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

*=:¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ =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 ¨¨¨¨¨:=*=£

=:¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨:

*=:¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨:=*=£§
