With about a 12 hour time zone difference, it should be pretty simple to
figure out which timezone the camera was set to.



You don't have to figure it out. It tells you in the EXIF what time zone
it's set to.

One problem with that method is trains don't run at a constant speed
from station to station. There are speed zones just like out on the
highways. You may have a stretch of 55mph followed by a 20mph stretch
when it goes through a congested area with lots of grade crossings.

OTOH, you don't need exact locations ... just knowing what state you
were in when the photo was taken should be enough to give an idea of
your surroundings.

You could look at the times, interpolate between the stops and get a rough idea 
as to location.  If
it's 200 miles between stops, four hours on the schedule, and the photo was 
taken about an hour
after leaving the station, then the photo was likely taken about 50 miles along 
the path.

It would be nice if you had a GPS turned on so you could get some idea just 
where some of them were
taken.
