Very nice! I had forgotten that one.

Obviously the Amtrak derailment was one of careless, distracted driving.

It reminds you of that? You were purposefully investigating a mechanical phenomenon, looking for the critical speed that caused the derailment. Their mindless 80 mph had no sense of purpose or concept of 'too fast', 'human life', or 'consequences' at all. You give them too much credit.

So good to hear from you!

Driving a train at 80 mph in a 30 mph zone! This reminds me of when I had my own model train set and tried to see at just what speed the train would jump the rails.

Hello jbrenner,

You are right; she is not working for the government outfit for sure! :)
Amtrak is a joke, and not a funny one. Typical of most any government run entity...

Happy Holidays,
OA.

Very clever

Do they deliver to the outer world? The FDA won't approve eating cheese that passes through the ray screen. Maybe Ragnar could do it.

Are you getting ready for the new Papa John's pizza in the Valley?

Continuously run? It didn't.

That's an old photo. As you read this Dagny is sunning herself next to her office in the Valley.

We notice "Atlas is Shrugging" every day.

The comment about Kip Chalmers is interesting, but this line has already been nationalized. How else do you explain Amtrak's ability to continue running routes with a mere 77 passengers?

The Rearden Metal rails were definitely not installed on that line.

I'm glad I am not the only one to notice.

This story really reminds me of AS. This and the Atlanta airport shutdown.

Way to go, Kip. "Get word to that crawling slug for an engineer that, I, Kip Chalmers, demands that he speeds this train the hell up!"
Thus does the haughty demand of a know-it-all more than equal elite better crashes into its normal outcome.

Probably trying to get Kip Chalmers to a political rally.
Dagny's busy repairing her cabin. http://www.ohsorare.com/dagny-repair....
Who is John Galt?
