Numbers station[0] recordings perhaps?

0 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station


I'm guessing leftover files from some developer playing around.


What a shame that file wasn't posted :-/


That's what I was guessing. Some sort of military requirement that they could trigger if needed.


4 8 15 16 23 42


>Also, there is an English recording of most announcements, even though only Finnish and Swedish are usually heard on commuter trains.

Actually, announcements are often (if not always) in all three languages.
