Even though 98% of Great Britain's public clocks were using GMT by 1855, it was not made Britain's legal time until August 2, 1880
Some old clocks from this period have two minute hands—one for the local time, one for GMT.
This only applied to the island of Great Britain, not to the island of Ireland.
On November 2, 1868, the then-British colony of New Zealand officially adopted a standard time to be observed throughout the colony, and was perhaps the first country to do so
It was based on the longitude 172°30' East of Greenwich, that is 11 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT
This standard was known as New Zealand Mean Time.
Timekeeping on the American railroads in the mid 19th century was somewhat confused
Each railroad used its own standard time, usually based on the local time of its headquarters or most important terminus, and the railroad's train schedules were published using its own time
Some major railroad junctions served by several different railroads had a separate clock for each railroad, each showing a different time; the main station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for example, kept six different times
One can imagine the confusion for travelers making a long journey that involved several changes of train.
Dowd proposed a system of one-hour standard time zones for American railroads about 1863, although he published nothing on the matter at that time and did not consult railroad officials until 1869
In 1870, he proposed four ideal time zones (having north–south borders), the first centered on Washington, D.C., but by 1872 the first was centered 75°W of Greenwich, with geographic borders (for example, sections of the Appalachian Mountains)
Dowd's system was never accepted by American railroads and Canadian railroads implemented a version proposed by William F Allen, the editor of the Traveler's Official Railway Guide.
The borders of its time zones ran through railroad stations, often in major cities
For example, the border between its Eastern and Central time zones ran through Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Charleston
It was inaugurated on Sunday, November 18, 1883, also called "The Day of Two Noons", when each railroad station clock was reset as standard-time noon was reached within each time zone
The zones were named Intercolonial, Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific
Within one year, 85% of all cities with populations over 10,000, about 200 cities, were using standard time.
A notable exception was Detroit (which is about half-way between the meridians of eastern time and central time), which kept local time until 1900, then tried Central Standard Time, local mean time, and Eastern Standard Time before a May 1915 ordinance settled on EST and was ratified by popular vote in August 1916
The confusion of times came to an end when Standard zone time was formally adopted by the U.S. Congress on March 19, 1918, in the Standard Time Act. U.S. Commissioner of Railroads William H
