It really is like "Atlas Shrugged". It's been a while since I read the chapter, so I may have the details wrong, but there is a great scene where a government functionary (Kip Chalmers, if I remember correctly) is in a hurry to go through the Rockies. The electric locomotive is broken and only an old coal locomotive is available. He says "Use that!" They explain to him that the tunnel is too long, and that the coal smoke would suffocate everyone before they exit. He says "Go fast!"
Anyway, the train goes, everyone dies, the train stops in the middle of the tunnel.
Next thing you know, a train from the other side of the Rockies comes through, slams into the stopped train the middle of the tunnel, and destroys the major RR passage through the Rockies.
Opps. Maybe sometimes listening to experts is a good idea.
