The people of Cincinnati have been playing a heated game of Monopoly well into the night.
You have discovered that you own the Queen City Railway, which has been hidden under the board that you forgot about.
You didn’t find the card yourself, it was told to you by one of the other players, who happens to hold the other three railroads.
The player says that you made an arrangement 142 years ago where they collect rent on your railroad.
“We haven’t talked about the matter in the last 96 years, and it seems you guys aren’t interested in it anymore so... could I buy it on November 7, 2023 for $1.6 billion?”
You’ve been so busy with houses and hotels you don’t know railroads do. Though you can see from the card that the more railroads you got, the more the rent goes up.
You agree to sell the card for $1.6 billion and you have an inkling that might have been a mistake.
The history of the Cincinnati Southern Railway is the history of Cincinnati. To understand it, read the litigation filing.
