Just curious.
When a long distance train begins its journey the day before the switch back and forth with Daylight Savings Time, how are the arrival/departure times handled when time changes at midnight? Looking at the Cardinal this morning, it is shown on time at Connersville (1:21 AM) but almost two hours late at Cincy. Obviously there was some problem because if it was only time change, the train would only be one hour late. But it seems that when times change the train will have to be at least an hour late for most of the run. Except of course in the fall when it gets to go into Warp Factor 8 and get to Connersville a few minutes after leaving Indianapolis and be at least an hour early all the way to New York.
