Chinese laborers worked on railroads in the 19th and early 20th centuries primarily due to economic necessity and opportunities for employment. Many sought better livelihoods amid poverty and limited job prospects in China. The demand for cheap labor from railroad companies, particularly in the United States and Canada, led to the recruitment of Chinese workers, who often faced harsh working conditions and discrimination. Their contributions were crucial to the completion of major rail projects, significantly impacting transportation and commerce.
