I
know
,
"
said
Eddie
Willers
quietly
.
The
conductor
sensed
that
his
explanation
was
worse
than
none
:
it
led
to
questions
that
men
did
not
ask
these
days
.
He
shook
his
head
and
went
out
.
Eddie
Willers
sat
looking
at
the
empty
darkness
beyond
the
window
.
This
was
the
first
eastbound
Cornet
out
of
San
Francisco
in
many
days
:
she
was
the
child
of
his
tortured
effort
to
re
-
establish
transcontinental
service
.
He
could
not
tell
what
the
past
few
days
had
cost
him
or
what
he
had
done
to
save
the
San
Francisco
terminal
from
the
blind
chaos
of
a
civil
war
that
men
were
fighting
with
no
concept
of
their
goals
;
there
was
no
way
to
remember
the
deals
he
had
made
on
the
basis
of
the
range
of
every
shifting
moment
.
He
knew
only
that
he
had
obtained
immunity
for
the
terminal
from
the
leaders
of
three
different
warring
factions
;
that
he
had
found
a
man
for
the
post
of
terminal
manager
who
did
not
seem
to
have
given
up
altogether
;
that
he
had
started
one
more
Taggart
Comet
on
her
eastward
run
,
with
the
best
Diesel
engine
and
the
best
crew
available
;
and
that
he
had
boarded
her
for
his
return
journey
to
New
York
,
with
no
knowledge
of
how
long
his
achievement
would
last
.
He
had
never
had
to
work
so
hard
;
he
had
done
his
job
as
conscientiously
well
as
he
had
always
done
any
assignment
;
but
it
was
as
if
he
had
worked
in
a
vacuum
,
as
if
his
energy
had
found
no
transmitters
and
had
run
into
the
sands
of
.
.
.
of
some
such
desert
as
the
one
beyond
the
window
of
the
Comet
.
He
shuddered
:
he
felt
a
moment
’
s
kinship
with
the
stalled
engine
of
the
train
.
After
a
while
,
he
summoned
the
conductor
once
more
.
"
How
is
it
going
?
"
he
asked
.
The
conductor
shrugged
and
shook
his
head
.
"
Send
the
fireman
to
a
track
phone
.
Have
him
tell
the
Division
Headquarters
to
send
us
the
best
mechanic
available
.
