Where am I?

[NKP746]

Good morning all, just joined the group as I am trying to learn a bit more about the NS in my area. I hate to admit this, but I am not even sure what District or Division I am near...I am in Fairview, PA about 10 miles west of Erie, along the ex-NKP single track line between Cleveland and Buffalo. Is this the Lake District, Cleveland Division? I see boards for the various Districts but I am not sure where to begin asking questions!

I would like to eventaully have info such as a current Employee TT for my area, showing the line, sidings, detectors, etc. Maybe a train list as I often have difficulty understanding the radio when signals are called. Some are very clear, some I am not sure are in English...

Thanks all, and I look forward to being a member!

Cheers,

Thank you Andrew! The train list is most helpful. I have also heard/seen a C1J local- I assume it runs from Conneaut over to Erie and back.
