Is the Carlisle joint station book for Carlisle Pa?

I wanted to do a documentary for the WM or CVRR this year so i was wandering is that was CVRR
 
I flipped through few pages and I think the Carlisle Station is in England. Even though the book appears to be in the University of Illinois library. Or was.
