That's what the 555 is for...it's a code set aside by the phone companies for movies, TV shows, ads, etc, because before that code came along, they would just make up some random number to put in their movie and people would watch the movie and then call the number to find out whose it is. They got so many complaints from people whose numbers got randomly made up and put in a movie that the phone companies set aside all the 555 numbers for that use. Nobody can actually have a phone number with a 1-XXX-555-XXXX number in it.The rest of the digits were not made up, they just came from the phone number CSX lists at the crossing (and on that very sign before I photoshopped their lettering off and added my own) for that same reason, except they have a real phone number! 1-800-232-0144!
