After the Uniform Time Act of 1966, all of Indiana was in Eastern Time 
zone except the northwest and southwest corners.  However, Indiana as a 
state does not observe Daylight Saving Time.  During the "summer" 
months, the entire state effectively moves to the Central Time zone.

A closer look at the train board indicates there may be another word 
underneath the "Central" in Central Time Zone.

If it were Hammond, I would imagine there would be some painted out 
sections to indicate when a Monon train came thru.    There are some 
below what remains but I'd think the train board top would have Monon 
blanked out.

So, to me it is either Rochester or Huntingdon.  Surely, someone on this 
list has been inside those stations before and can shake some cobwebs 
loose?  SMT maybe?
