Quilling	Blowing the whistle with a distinctive style (term used especially in the South). Before the days of standardized signals some railroads allowed each engineer to add his own call to their normal signals to help station agents determine who was on the train when they passed. Even today you can hear slight differences in the way one engineer or another will Play or Quill The Whistle. See Playing The Whistle.
