Atlas Shrugged, Part 1, Chapter 4, section 5: Previous Next

- Plot summary

The National Alliance of Railroads passes the Anti-dog-eat-dog Rule which gives them the power to dictate which railroads can operate in which regions of the country. The rule was crafted by Orren Boyle with the purpose of driving the Phoenix-Durango out of Colorado, so Taggart Transcontinental would not have to compete with them any longer. After the vote, James Taggart storms into Dagny Taggart's office and gloats about how he has ruined their competitor, which in his mind is a victory over Dagny. She calls him a rotten bastard and rushes out.
