"who is john galt?"

brief excerpt from the book i am currently reading--Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand:

"The conductor spoke up. 'I don't think we had any business being sent off on a siding, that switch wasn't working right, and this thing's not working at all.' He jerked his head up at the red light. 'I don't think the signal's going to change. I think it's busted.'

'Then what are you doing?'

'Waiting for it to change.'"
