Atlas Shrugged, Part 1, Chapter 1, section 2:

Dagny Taggart is riding the TaggartComet back to NewYork after inspecting the RioNorteLine. She hears a Brakeman whistling an unpublished piece from her favorite composer, RichardHalley, but the brakeman refuses to acknowledge this or say where he heard it. After falling asleep and waking up, Dagny discovers the train has come to a stop at a siding. She finds the train crew passively waiting instructions, and gives them orders on how to proceed. Faced with this incompetence, she decides to promote OwenKellogg to superintendent of the Ohio Division.
