The Adoption of Standard Time.
Bartky, Ian R. "The Adoption of Standard Time." Technology and Culture 30, no. 1 (1989): 25-56.
Why this matters here
Ian Bartky documents the history of the adoption of standardized time and the difficulties of coordinating local clocks across rail networks. The chapter cites the historical implementation of common railway time, separate from cultural accounts of what train travel felt like.
