But consider when the book was written, 1957. Weren't the railroads really the lifeblood of the nation at that time? I found the book interesting, and managed to read all the speeches but the one at the end (Galt's radio broadcast). It's a pretty good way for people to be able to say they know part of what Rand's philosophies are. (I don't want to fan any flames, I just want to say the book is a pretty good read and contains a lot of philosophy in it.)
