Additional Details:
In order to keep the clocks in harmony with the rising of the sun, at certain designated places in the United States, the traveler on the Westward journey turns the clock back one hour, on the Eastward journey at the same stations the clock is advanced an hour. At Dodge City the time changes from Central Time to Mountain Time or vice versa and in recognition the Santa Fe has built two Sun Dials on the Station platform at Dodge City graphically illustrating the difference between the two times. These Sun Dials are visible from the car window. At Seligman, Arizona, the time changes from Mountain Time to Pacific Time
