ANSWER: Board Games

Short Line

The Monopoly Board is largely set in Atlantic City, New Jersey in the 1930's. Most of the streets have (or had) real life counterparts in the seaside vacation magnet.

There was no real railroad called the Short Line. A short line is actually a class of railroads with limited length of track connecting industries or larger railroads. Some reports indicate that the Short Line on the Monopoly board was actually supposed to represent a streetcar line or a bus company.
