The term is rarely used by non-railfans.

It's not a great pedigree, but keep on keeping on I guess? v  v

this is prolly the worst written article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Draper quote:While Draper was driving around his Volkswagen Microbus to test a pirate radio transmitter, he broadcast a telephone number to listeners as feedback to gauge his station's reception. A callback from a "Denny" (identified in the Discovery Channel documentary about Hacking as Denny Teresi[1]) resulted in a meeting with the blind kids and caused him to blunder into the world of the phone phreaks. They wanted him to build a multifrequency tone generator (the blue box) to gain easier entry into the AT&T system which was controlled by tones. Then they wouldn't have to use the organ and cassette recorder to get free calls. nothing in this part is linked except volkswagen, discovery channel and whistle and leaves no clue what the poo poo about the organ and 'blind kids.'
