Wonder how many here have ever read Atlas Shrugged.

[–] 1 pt

Anyone who hasn't read it is about to act it out IRL.

Yes, and few get to the gulch. Hopefully, we step off the train before the tunnel.

Such a great book.

Long ago, when I was a long haul trucker, I traveled all across the country, and started noticing the landmarks which were displayed prominently in Atlas Shrugged. Galt, California. The train tunnel at Taggart, Utah on I-84, Touhy Avenue in Chicago, the oil fields of Colorado. Galt's Gulch was probably modeled on Taggart, Utah, a desolate box canyon with red rock cliffs and a small stream running along the railroad tracks. The few residential structures were spaced out. I stopped in Taggart one time and gave a paperback copy of Atlas Shrugged to the one convenience store's lending library. The guy running the store had never herd about the book. I mentioned that his town was mentioned prominently in the book, encouraging him to read it. Good old days.
