The '''Taggart Transcontinental Railroad''', in [[Ayn Rand]]'s [[novel]] ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'', was the [[railroad]] founded in the nineteenth century by Nathaniel Taggart and, during the period of the novel's action, run by [[James Taggart]] as President and [[Dagny Taggart]] as Vice-President in Charge of Operations. It was the one thing to which Dagny Taggart clung as the economy of the [[United States]] continued to crumble. The final collapse of the TTRR occurred when the [[Taggart Bridge]] across the [[Mississippi River]] was cut in half by the detonation of [[Project X]], after which Dagny Taggart finally joined the [[strike]] of the men of the mind called by [[John Galt]].
