Ah but that’s because the railroad tycoons all built their systems by their force of will and lack of empathy for the prole wretches actually running & building things. So they deserve admiration according to her hateful excuse for a philosophy.

Although in real life railroads were granted their land by the government, and granted a checkerboard pattern of sections of land on opposite sides of the right-of-way they could use or sell.

Trans-continental railroads in the USA were a massive government-funded project.
