Other than any contributions the Chinese made during their arrival in 1849 to the gold fields of Calfornia; their greatest achievement was building America's first Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. The toughest part of which was dynamiting their way thru the hard granite of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Today, drivers going up thru the Donner Pass along I-80 (US Interstate 80) can still see their tunnel going thru that solid rock mountain.

The second biggest contribution was building thousands of miles of levies in California's Sacramento Valley.
