Hi Wayne, nope, no connection, but it was an interesting read. There is however a link at the top of the page you linked to which leads to the character John Galt from the novel Atlas Shrugged. This is the John Galt I named my railraod after. The link tells a bit about the novel and John Galt's part in it. I will add that Taggart Transcontinental, mentioned in the link, is a railroad from the novel and that the John Galt Line is a railroad built by Dagny Taggart who had been operating vice president of Taggart, and whom had to resign in order to build the John Galt. Again, the link explains a bit and offers links to other charectors which I did not check but should reveal other aspects of the novel. Easily the most enjoyable read I've enver had and I recommend it to any avid readers out there.
