,,&,,&,&,& 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. &&,&,&&,,&
