I made this map just for fun as a thought experiment, and Philly and Pittsburgh wound up on opposite sides since I figured mountain ridges would be a good time zone boundary.

This would be the year round time, Philly would use a continuous eastern daylight time (what we have now), Pittsburgh would keep the eastern standard time (what we had in the winter)

A proper boundary between the Eastern and Central time zones would be as close to 82.5°W as possible, which would cut Ohio in half instead of Pennsylvania.
