central pacific and union pacific railroad companies
This could be answered at two levels: the US government through the Pacific Railroads Act (1862) founded the Union Pacific Railroad to build the line from Omaha Nebraska to the California/Nevada line. The workers who actually built the line were largely immigrants (Chinese).
The Union Pacific relied on Irish and African American workers. The Central Pacific hired Chinese workers. The immigrant workers were low-paid and did difficult work.
The Central Pacific relied on workers from the country of China, and the Union Pacific Company relied on workers from many nationalities, like African Americans, Native Americans, Irish, and so on. Hope this helps!

from Europe and Asia
The Central Pacific relied on a Chinese immigrant workforce, particularly for dangerous jobs such as planting nitroglycerine, giving rise to the phrase, "a Chinaman's chance" to describe a low expectation of of success.
