I'm not sure if this was the case in USA, but in Europe, particualr
France and England, before they started using Greenwich time, the
railway time was different to the local time, which could also be
different to the time in the capital, so people often had to carry two
watches if they wanted to be sure to get their train (I don't know if
this was called your railway watch, though).
Having two times does fit with much of what is going on in this book
