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

:¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨:
