daylight saving time changes occur between 2 and 3 a.m., either moving from 2 to 3, or from 3 to 2.
what happens when a train has a scheduled stop at one station at 2 a.m. and a stop at another station at 3 a.m. It would seem that needs to be at two different stations at the same time.
more realistically, the train might have one hour less to get to a station.

Airplanes, flight controllers, etc use Zulu time (UTC time or Coordinated Universal Time), which in my day also was referred to as GMT, Greenwich Mean Time. IIRC.
That eliminates confusion, no matter what Arizona does.

Also, what about states that do not use Daylight Savings Time (e.g. Arizona). They stay n Standard time the year around, where as Texas and Californaia use Daylight Savings Time?
just read an articles that said Amtrack trains stop for an hour and race to catch-up in spring
