About the time in Railroad
Sunrise today lands at 06:25 and sunset at 07:54 local time, giving 13h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (39.76, -76.70) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Railroad.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Railroad day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Railroad sits at latitude 39.76, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 29m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
