=== The San Sebastian Line ===

As a railroad president, Jim Taggart was a disaster. For example, he build a railway line into [[Mexico]] in order to profit from the San Sebastian [[copper mine]]s, little realizing that the People's State of Mexico was sure to nationalize the line and the mines. Jim was satisfied with a document that "guaranteed" the property rights of the TTRR for two hundred years; that guarantee would soon prove worthless. The only reason why the TTRR did not lose more than it did was that Dagny Taggart reduced service on the line to one passenger train a day, and one freight train every other day, pulled by the most superannuated of [[locomotive]]s and using the most dilapidated rolling stock that the TTRR owned. When [[nationalization]] came, Jim Taggart took credit for these moves, though he had tried to browbeat Dagny into canceling them, without result. Jim and Dagny would learn later that the San Sebastian Mines themselves were as worthless as the Mexican government's "guarantees" had been—though Jim Taggart would probably never appreciate the reason for that.
