As the aircraft carrying Henry, Dagny, Francisco, and John Galt, with Ragnar Danneskjold in the cockpit, overflew the New York region, the entire Eastern Seaboard was blacked out. Power had failed, and Henry and the others realized that the society of the "looters" had finally collapsed.

Henry spent the winter reorganizing Rearden Steel in Galt's Gulch. With the arrival of springtime, John Galt announced that the strike was effectively settled, because the outside society was no longer effective. Henry Rearden now made plans to re-establish Rearden Steel on the outside and to supply rail for the first railroad between New York City and [[Philadelphia]].

Henry spent the winter reorganizing Rearden Steel in Galt's Gulch. The Gulch turned out to be incredibly resource-rich, and even had a source of [[copper]], in the form of a mine owned and run directly by Francisco d'Anconia. From the descriptions given of the mine from Dagny Taggart's viewpoint, one may readily infer that the first order for the New Rearden Steel was an order of rail made of Rearden Metal, and a further order of Rearden Metal to build a frame for the first electrostatic [[locomotive]] designed and built by John Galt.
