it relied on Irish immigrants
Most of the immigrants who worked on the Transcontinental Railroad came from China and Ireland. Chinese laborers were primarily employed for the Central Pacific Railroad, while Irish immigrants predominantly worked on the Union Pacific Railroad. Both groups faced significant challenges and discrimination but played crucial roles in the construction of this monumental project.
The Union Pacific Railroad and The Central Pacific Railroad Companies were formed to build the railroad. Many of the CPR workers working east from California were Chinese-Americans and many of the UPR workers building west from Nebraska were Irish immigrants.
Mostly Irish on the UP, mainly Chinese on the Central Pacific.
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. Additionally, Chinese immigrants played a significant role in agriculture, particularly in farming and establishing Chinese vegetable gardens.
