The Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) was the name of the railroad network built between California and Utah (where it met/joined the Union Pacific Railroad). Chinese labor was an essential resource for constructing the railroad. Fifty Chinese laborers were hired by the Central Pacific Railroad in February 1865 and more and more were added to the crews as construction continued because they were cheap - and easily exploited - labor.
Chinese immigrants in the United States worked on various projects, including the construction of railroads such as the Central Pacific Railroad and the Transcontinental Railroad in the 19th century. They also contributed to other infrastructure projects, such as the building of bridges, mines, and canals.
