How did women help in the construction of the transcontinental railroad?
While it was indeed an all-male job constructing the railroad, and numerous immigrants (especially Irish and Chinese men) were hired in large numbers, the Central Pacific Railroad History Museum notes an exception to the "all-male" rule. The CPRR hired Native-American (Indian) workers from the Shoshone tribe, and when that happened, the workers provided were both male and female; there is thus some evidence that Shoshone women were among the laborers who built the Central Pacific Railroad, though not in as large numbers as the male workers.

White Americans justified the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad with the concept of Manifest Destiny. They believed that the United States was meant to control as much land as possible.

However, to get the land for a railroad, Native American rights to territory had to be taken away as quickly as possibly to make way for construction.
