No . Because crank phoners are not operable anymore and because the operator switching system is long gone. Asking an operator to connect you to "Underwood-342" is nor going to work. The famed number "Pennsylvania 6-5000" may still work- be dialable, But one would need to know what two numbers "Pennsylvania" represented -and dial it.
In 1903 The Wreck of the Old 97 took place on a run between Lnychburg and Danville, VA. it was to arrive at 1:44 in the PM.
Today, there is still a line that runs from Lynchburg to Danville. And every Sunday it arrives in Danville at 1:44.
That predates the 1920's by a bit- but that is still in effect.
