Nah, not really a big deal. The transportation world has handled it just fine for Arizona, and previously, Indiana.

Heck, here’s where it gets real confusing.

Arizona does not observe DST as a state. However, freight railroads in Arizona DO. At least BNSF Railway does. So for a 
good chunk of the year, if you are involved with the railroad, you have to clarify if events are happening at 8 a.m. 
city time or 8 a.m. railroad time.

At least that’s how it was last time I was down there as a railroad contractor.
