Around 10,000 Chinese workers helped build the Central Pacific Railroad as part of the Transcontinental Railroad project in the United States during the 1860s. They played a significant role in the construction of the railroad, especially through the difficult and dangerous work in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The Chinese worked mostly under the Central Pacific railroad company.
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.

The Central Pacific relied on workers from the country of China, and the Union Pacific Company relied on workers from many nationalities, like African Americans, Native Americans, Irish, and so on. Hope this helps!
