Ah cool, here we see what you mentioned, Chinese people were working in those huge projects to the West. And we also see that some people got very rich, the CEO while the industrial cities were growing, the beginning of a new era yes although as you say

the indigenous people of the time in America were probably not fans of the Westward expansion of the railroad

But the "progress" arrived there to the West... I think this is a good way to see a part of your history through the evolution of big infrastructures, so thanks for sharing it!
Happy Tuesday amigo!

Yes, the Chinese were a huge part of the the success of theTranscontinental Railroad. In fact,they are part of an amazing feat. At the end of the completion, over 10 miles of track was completed in a single day!

Yes a lot of bad was done but in the end a lot of good came out of it. Nearly two hundred years of railroad in America and it's still here in the form locomotives, subways and street cars.

Happy Tuesday to you too Amiga. Its freezing here, coldest day of the year! Where are you spring?
