UsefulConcept

I found myself with a text string that had smack in the middle of its date the time zone.  I needed to remove the time zone abbreviation so I could properly parse it.  So I went searching for a list of time zone abbreviations that I could do a regular expression to replace.  Apparently it isn't a common need, as I couldn't find a list, just a lot of descriptions for each one (which would be handy for other reasons)

So for those who need to not only know what all the time zone abbreviations are, but also have them in some sort of delimited list here you go. 

 A | ACDT | ACST | ADT | AEDT | AEST | AKDT | AKST | AST | AWST | B | BST | C | CDT | CDT | CEDT | CEST | CET | CST | CXT | D | E | EDT | EEDT | EEST | EET | EST | F | G | GMT | H | HAA | HAC | HADT | HAE | HAP | HAR | HAST | HAT | HAY | HNA | HNC | HNE | HNP | HNR | HNT | HNY | I | IST | K | L | M | MDT | MESZ | MEZ | MST | N | NDT | NFT | NST | O | P | PDT | PST | Q | R | S | T | U | UTC | V | W | WEDT | WEST | WET | WST | X | Y | Z

I found them from timeanddate.com, and did the manual typing to get it to list form.  Let me know if you see a typo, etc.
