Thanks, Arnold. It's my impression that the need for time synchronization grew out of the need to schedule trains on limited tracks.
Astronomy could have needed synchronization earlier, but the trains drove it as they grew in number. Any other early needs for synchronization? Longitude is a separate problem, one of traveling clocks.
