,,~\*%£### 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. #£%*\~,,,,

,,,~\*%£## is poorly understood. they seem to pull ##£%*\~,,,
,,~\*%£### in stray fields and electricities. ###£%*\~,,
,,,~\*%£## superstition exist that they also ##£%*\~,,,
,,,,~\*%£# affect spirits, gijinkas, and even the #£%*\~,,,,
