Via Rail will give you a schedule when you book your tickets.  But I
am wrong, it gives it to you in local time, which you can scrape or
even use the via rail api.  So it is the person getting off in
Creighton who wants to tell his relatives back in Halifax what
time he is arriving (in their time) (so they can call him and
avoid the hellish hotel surtax on long distance calls) who will
have the problem.

And this is the sort of use case I think we will see a lot of.
