How do you use the railroad pieces in monopoly city?
To use railroad pieces in monopoly you have to have either landed on something that says that you have to build a railroad or when you click the build button you have to build a railroad. Railroads are free. You put them on any owned property. If you land on a property with a railroad on it then you can jump to another property with a railroad on it. This helps you avoid having to pay rent and it also counts for your GO money if you pass GO while you are jumping from railroad to railroad. You can jump from railroad A to railroad B to railroad C. What I said in my last sentence is that you can jump multiple times in one turn. My advice for you is to build a hotel on one of your properties and then also have a railroad on it, so people can jump to your property to get away from properties like Diamond Hills. You can only put railroads on properties that are owned and you can not put railroads on properties that you cannot buy. I hope this answered your question!
