     I know that with Amtrak, they operate in the prevailing local time. At   
   the time change to Daylight Savings Time, trains become an hour late,   
   and they'll try to make up the time at subsequent stations (many of the   
   schedules are "padded"...not sure if that was the case in the "heyday"   
   of the trains during World War II or not). In going back to Standard   
   Time, trains are held back to be "on time", and not early.   
      
     Unfortunately, outside of the northeast corridor, and a few other   
   areas, Amtrak is at the mercy of the freight railroad dispatchers, and   
   many trains have been delayed by the huge volume of freight traffic in   
   recent months.   
      
     I heard someone say in a railroad forum that Union Pacific operates   
   all its trains on Central Time, since that's where their corporate   
   offices are (I think they're in Omaha, Nebraska).
