FUN FACTS
Did you know that before the invention and popular use of the railroad, Americans told time by the position of the sun in the sky? After the development of the railway system, consistent, accurate time became necessary. In 1883, Standard Railway Time was adopted. Shortly after that, the four time zones—eastern standard, central daylight, mountain standard, and Pacific daylight—were adopted. Who knew that an invention in transportation could drastically alter how Americans told time?
