Many years ago, a user filed a bug report that the timezone information we used for historical places in Indiana was incorrect. I don't remember exactly what the user was doing, but I think it had something to do with train schedules or something.

I did not fix that bug. (But I did learn that the 'TZ' database has this information, though I think 'America/Indiana/*' had been pruned out of the copy our JVM was using.)



Some of Indiana is on the Central Timezone and some is on the Eastern Timezone. This is definitely an issue!
