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 Transcontinental Railroad Acts, also known as the Pacific Railroad acts, were acts passed in the early 1860s to encourage the construction of the transcontinental railroad. Construction was incentivized by giving land and bonds to the railroad companies.
Most of the workers on the transcontinental railroad came from Ireland and China. Irish laborers primarily worked on the eastern sections, while Chinese immigrants were crucial for the construction of the railroad in the western regions. These labor forces faced harsh working conditions and discrimination but played a vital role in the completion of this significant infrastructure project. Their contributions significantly shaped the development of the American West.
