How were the Chinese and Irish immigrants that built the transcontinental railroad treated?
The Chinese immigrated to America to build the Transcontinental Railroad because they needed to earn money. The people in China often had to sell daughters into slavery in order to pay off financial debts. Charles Crocker hired the Chinese because he said, "If the Chinese could build the Great Wall, why can't they lay down the tracks to a railroad?".
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.
