That makes it the 7th most-landed-on square of 39 on the board.
On a board where every square was equally likely, each would take 2.5% of turns. Reading Railroad takes 2.72% — about 1.09× the flat rate. The board isn’t flat because Go To Jail, the two card decks, and the doubles rule all pump traffic around it unevenly.
Why this number
Reading Railroad doesn’t only collect dice traffic — cards route players here directly:
- Take a trip to Reading Railroad (Chance)
- Advance to the nearest Railroad (Chance, 2 copies of the card, reachable from 1 of the 3 Chance squares)
All four railroads cost $200 each. Rent runs $25 / $50 / $100 / $200 for one, two, three and four owned — owning the full set pays back in about 32 opponent turns.
