Downturn in freight traffic? Maybe so, and I certainly am not familiar with BNSF figures, but it would appear hard to believe this is the case with the number of lengthy freight trains passing through Flagstaff each day.

Arriving LA at 4:30 am will feel like 5:30 -- not 3:30 -- to the folks who went to bed on Arizona time in the winter. But in summer, Arizona and California share the same time.

It really only matters what time the sun outside LA Union Station thinks it is. And maybe the muggers outside too.
