With
the
first
whistling
rush
of
air
,
as
the
Comet
plunged
into
the
tunnels
of
the
Taggart
Terminal
under
the
city
of
New
York
,
Dagny
Taggart
sat
up
straight
.
She
always
felt
it
when
the
train
went
underground
—
this
sense
of
eagerness
,
of
hope
and
of
secret
excitement
.
It
was
as
if
normal
existence
were
a
photograph
of
shapeless
things
in
badly
printed
colors
,
but
this
was
a
sketch
done
in
a
few
sharp
strokes
that
made
things
seem
clean
,
important
—
and
worth
doing
.
She
watched
the
tunnels
as
they
flowed
past
:
bare
walls
of
concrete
,
a
net
of
pipes
and
wires
,
a
web
of
rails
that
went
off
into
black
holes
where
green
and
red
lights
hung
as
distant
drops
of
color
.
There
was
nothing
else
,
nothing
to
dilute
it
,
so
that
one
could
admire
naked
purpose
and
the
ingenuity
that
had
achieved
it
.
She
thought
of
the
Taggart
Building
standing
above
her
head
at
this
moment
,
growing
straight
to
the
sky
,
and
she
thought
:
These
are
the
roots
of
the
building
,
hollow
roots
twisting
under
the
ground
,
feeding
the
city
.
When
the
train
stopped
,
when
she
got
off
and
heard
the
concrete
of
the
platform
under
her
heels
,
she
felt
light
,
lifted
,
impelled
to
action
.
She
started
off
,
walking
fast
,
as
if
the
speed
of
her
steps
could
give
form
to
the
things
she
felt
.
It
was
a
few
moments
before
she
realized
that
she
was
whistling
a
piece
of
music
—
and
that
it
was
the
theme
of
Halley
’
s
Fifth
Concerto
.
She
felt
someone
looking
at
her
and
turned
.
The
young
brakeman
stood
watching
her
tensely
.
*
*

She
sat
on
the
arm
of
the
big
chair
facing
James
Taggart
’
s
desk
,
her
coat
thrown
open
over
a
wrinkled
traveling
suit
.
Eddie
Willers
sat
across
the
room
,
making
notes
once
in
a
while
.
His
title
was
that
of
Special
Assistant
to
the
Vice
-
President
in
Charge
of
Operation
,
and
his
main
duty
was
to
be
her
bodyguard
against
any
waste
of
time
.
She
asked
him
to
be
present
at
interviews
of
this
nature
,
because
then
she
never
had
to
explain
anything
to
him
afterwards
.
James
Taggart
sat
at
his
desk
,
his
head
drawn
into
his
shoulders
.
"
The
Rio
Norte
Line
is
a
pile
of
junk
from
one
end
to
the
other
,
"
she
said
.
"
It
’
s
much
worse
than
I
thought
.
But
we
’
re
going
to
save
it
.
"
"
Of
course
,
"
said
James
Taggart
.
"
Some
of
the
rail
can
be
salvaged
.
Not
much
and
not
for
long
.
We
’
ll
start
laying
new
rail
in
the
mountain
sections
,
Colorado
first
.
We
’
ll
get
the
new
rail
in
two
months
.
"
"
Oh
,
did
Orren
Boyle
say
he
‘
ll
