American and Canadian railroads began using the time zones due to confusion of dealing with many local times. They started to realize that it was very difficult to schedule. Fir one train, you could have dozens of different times. Finally they asked for a efficient time-keeping system. The govt. was not involved, rather the railroad systems created it on their own. It wasn't till the 1918 that congress adopted this.
