The workers were to work hard in the cold and in the sun at minimum wages to build the railroad.ÊWork on the railroad was difficult and getting new workers was a major challenge.
An estimated 1,200 to 2,000 workers died while constructing the transcontinental railroad. The majority of these workers were Chinese immigrants, who faced hazardous working conditions, harsh weather, and inadequate safety measures. The toll included accidents, disease, and difficult living conditions, reflecting the perilous nature of this monumental project.

Expansion Westward made possible in part by the construction of the first transcontinental railroad that stretched from coast to coast transformed the United States business and life.
The transcontinental railroad route across Indian territory was initially ruled out due to concerns over potential conflicts with Native American tribes living in those areas. There were fears that constructing the railroad would disrupt their lands and way of life, leading to violent confrontations. Additionally, the U.S. government sought to avoid further escalation of tensions with Indigenous peoples, prioritizing negotiations and treaties instead. These factors contributed to the decision to explore alternative routes that would minimize conflict.
