This difference of two hours is because of time zones. Because the sun appears to rise at different times as you travel from east to west (or vice versa), the local time is different as local time has always depended on the position of the sun. As the railways were built across America, the times needed to be made universal for the timetables, so time zones were born. As The United States is so wide, it is split into three time zones, each an hour apart.
