That would only work if there was a table that showed the miles at every station. For example if I wake up and look out the window and see a marker indicating 1234 that would be meaningless without the miles for each station.There are mile markers, so if you are familiar enough with the route to know the marker at the stations you could tell where you are. Usually mile marker 0 is at the city where the predecessor
railroad was headquartered. For example, the CSX mile markers on the Florida trains are based out of Richmond, VA, as that was where the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line interchanged with the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac for service to Washington and beyond via the Pennsylvania Railroad. If you don't know the mile marker locations, you could also use a mobile device to determine your location.
