long did it take?• How did people travel to the West before the
transcontinental railroad was built?• Are you familiar with the topic of the
selection?
Background Information• The transcontinental railroad first was proposed in 1830, but it was thirty-nine
years before the final spike was hammered.• During the railroad’s construction, railroad workers endured many hardships;
snowstorms, rainstorms, floods, mud slides, and explosions.• A labor shortage existed on the Central Pacific. Many men would work for the
railroads for a short time and then leave for the California gold mines or the Nevada silver mines when they had earned enough money for travel and supplies. This prompted the railroad’s owners to hire Chinese laborers. They paid the Chinese lower wages and gave them the hardest jobs. In fact, they were given the daunting task of blasting through the mountains to make tunnels for the railroad. But the Chinese proved to be diligent, productive workers. It is estimated that as many as 42,000 Chinese men worked on the Central Pacific Railroad.
