I would say, from a few websites I found, that 11,000 Chinese people worked on the railroad. They worked the hardest and had great skills to work on hard to fix problems they used to fix for the Great Wall of China. -KKBURT

The main characters in the story "The Great Railroad Race" are the two competing railroad companies: the Central Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad. Their efforts to build a transcontinental railroad across the United States in the 1860s are central to the narrative.
The Great Northern Railway (GNR) operated without any government subsidies or land grants and was the only transcontinental railroad that was not forced into bankruptcy. It was primarily built by James J. Hill and his associates, who focused on cost-effective construction methods and efficient management. Despite facing challenges and competition, the Great Northern Railway became the most successful transcontinental railroad in the United States.
Talk of a transcontinental railroad started in 1830, shortly after steam powered railroads were invented in Great Britain and began to be introduced into the United States. This talk intensified as railroad technology advanced and the Oregon Territory and California were added to United States Territory in 1846.
