Why The Railroad From Monopoly Went Bankrupt In Real Life.

Most Americans know the Reading Railroad from Monopoly. But behind that familiar board game name was a real industrial empire built on anthracite coal, mountain railroads, and one of the most powerful energy supply chains in the United States.

But when the country stopped depending on coal, the railroad’s greatest strength became its fatal weakness.
