November 18 in CNR History


 

November 18, 1883 The railroads in the United States and Canada agree to a system of standard time, replacing the confusing and unsafe practice of each locality setting its own "sun" time. The system will take effect the following spring. However, it will not be until 1918 that Standard, or "Railroad" time is made the official U.S. system.

November 18, 1981 Conrail (ex-NYC) and Grand Trunk Western operations through downtown Battle Creek MI are consolidated onto the GTW tracks.
