	Short-line railroad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Short Line is also one of the four railroads in the popular board game Monopoly, probably named after the Shore Fast Line, an interurban streetcar line.
		Short lines generally exist for one of three reasons: to link two industries requiring rail freight together (for example, a gypsum mine and a wall board factory, or a coal mine and a power plant); to interchange revenue traffic with other, usually larger, railroads; or to operate a tourist passenger train service.
		Short line operators typically have lower labor, overhead and regulatory costs than Class I railroads and therefore are often able to operate profitably lines that lost money for their original owners.
