I want people on the NS Pittsburgh Line to Post when the train Departs Harrisburg, Pa and Altoona, Pa for me, anyone on the Pittsburgh Line going to See the train on Monday? Please put the Time in Reg Numbers.
Thank You
Actually its RBBX…
And what on earth do you mean by regular numbers?
Please No Military Time like 15:00 I want like Reg Time like 3:30 P.M.
conrailman,
Consider using the term “12-hour clock” rather than “Reg” or “Regular” time. For some, use of the 24-hour clock is regular. Military time (from what I’ve heard) uses the 24-hour clock but to avoid confusion from time zones they are all set to GMT (Grenwich mean time) or Zulu.
I think Military Time is too Hard for 98 percent of Reg People like myself.
For a 24 hour clock CONVERSION to 12 hour time check out
these websites that I just found by searching google for
“24 hour time conversion” :

Thank You[:D]
Geez guys, [%-)] is it really that hard to add/subtract 12 from a number?
Some people don’t understand Military Time.
If you go to Europe, be advised that all the RR timetables and announcement boards are in the 24-hour clock.
Thanks for info.
conrailman, the only difference between the 12-hour clock and the 24-hour clock is the way the hours of the day are represented. Everything else is the same.
If the hour is greater than or equal to 13, simply subtract 12 from the hour and you have the time PM. For example 14:30 is 2:30 PM.
The twenty-four hour clock eliminates a few ambiguities… When setting a digital clock you don’t have to look for a small little LED to indicate AM or PM so you know when you need to get up at 5:00 AM (5:00) your alarm will go off at 5:00 AM and not 5:00 PM (17:00). Also, if I’m meeting you at 12:00 AM, when am I meeting you? Noon or midnight? With the 24-hour clock you know if we’re meeting at 12:00 you’ll see me at noon.
Some people apparently failed every math
course they had.

So, what you’re saying is…my watch right now says it’s 9:43. If I subtract 12, I get…let’s see…9 minus 12 is -3. Um…so it’s really -3:43 o’clock. Now I get it.[;)] Chad-can you help me figure out how that whole chill factor/ heat index thing works too?[:p]
On topic:what is the RBBX train? Something special?
Its the Ringling Bros and Barum & Bailey Circus train on Monday June 6. Its something very special to see on Main Line.[:D][8D]
[:)]Now I see. That would be neat to see.
I learned about the 24-hour clock in primary (grade) school. I fail to see how it is “difficult”, since all days have twenty-four hours in them.
What might confuse some people is that some entities (like the Postal Service) divide the hours into 100 units instead of 60 minutes, so you may end up with a recorded time of day that reads “16:85” instead of 16.51 hours (4:51 pm).
In my business we are constantly converting time, always seemed like a no brainer to me.
The hour in military time is simply the amount of complete hours it is past midnight (1:00 PM, or 13:00 is thirteen hours past midnight). Can it get easier than that?
While the USPS does have time in hundreths it is only internally and used for pay purposes. Computers divide by 10 when calculating payrolls and they choose to just put the information into the system in hundreths instead of having the conversion done by the system.
