RailwayTimeConversion.js

/*
    The time conversion of normalized time to the railway is a simple algorithm
    because we know that if the time is in 'AM' value it means they only want
    some changes on hours and minutes and if the time in 'PM' it means the only
    want some changes in hour value.

    Input Format -> 07:05:45PM
    Output Format -> 19:05:45
