It's easier and much more fun to get a copy of a trainman's handbook.

Here is an ebay item identical to the one I have for a different road. They 
cover all the different signals (with color pictures!), whistle codes, etc. 
It's facinating reading if you like trains at all. It ends in 4 hours and 
is $10.00 buck with no bids. I'm sure you can get it for the first bid.
