Wouldn’t be a mess if Dagny ran it.

“Get the Comet in...on time...”

“Yes, Miss Taggart.”

You might be surprised to learn that the top operating official of Metro-North Railroad (running into Grand Central Terminal in NYC) is a woman.

She started out back around 1979 as a locomotive fireman just a little ahead of me. Worked her way up as an engineer, then trainmaster, then superintendant, and is now at the vice-presidential level. A _real life_ version of Dagny Taggart.

That’s the truth — and, as someone in this forum who _works for_ Amtrak, I prefer to run on Metro-North, because it’s a well-run operation.
