How much does it cost to buy a railroad in the US standard board game call Monopoly?
In the standard US version of Monopoly, Reading Railroad is the first of four (4) railroads. This railroad lies between the Income Tax and Oriental Avenue spaces and costs $200, which is the standard railroad price. Contrary to popular opinion, it is actually pronounced REDD-ing (after the city in Pennsylvania where it was based) Railroad instead of REED-ing Railroad.
Like the other three railroads, Reading's Rent is:
1 Railroad Owned: $25
2 Railroads Owned: $50
3 Railroads Owned: $100
4 Railroads Owned: $200.

Monopoly seems to continue being a popular game, but the last time I played the game was about 1955. I still knew the cost of the railroads.

Fun game of capitalism. However, I've played the game to its inevitable end.
