,,,,,,~†¤# 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 ###¤&†;~:,

,:~;†&¤### WATER AVOIDS THEM. IN LIGHT RAIN, THE ###¤&†;~:,
